Mindfulness – Pacific Perinatal Foundation

Harnessing Healing through Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing awareness to our present moment experience, with kindness and compassion. It allows us to meet the challenges we are facing with more gentleness and to access our inner resources of resilience and healing.

Reflections from previous participants

“

This program has been invaluable and a life-changing experience for me. I have developed a mindfulness practice, learned how to regulate my emotions on a regular basis and appreciate the present moment. This has helped me move through grief, anxiety, and deal with the unknowns of this journey.

“

I am not alone. What I am experiencing/feeling/thinking is normal

The sense of solidarity and community, with incredible intimacy and shared insights was tremendous

Pacific Perinatal Foundation acknowledges the Ancestral and traditional territories of the Coast Salish people across what we now call Vancouver Island. They are and remain the original stewards who have lived in balance and interconnectedness with the land and water. As settlers on this land, we are committed to continuing in our own personal learning, engage in community connection and support Indigenous families to honour their traditions and processes surrounding perinatal grief and loss.
