Dear Colleagues,

In the face of the continuing uncertainty in our work and bigger worlds, many of us were able to gather in learning and practice communities this summer. Thank you for your presence and curiosity, and the positive feedback we received for the eight courses and drop-in sessions.  

Overwhelmingly, participants expressed gratitude and asked for continued virtual courses and places to connect. In this edition, you’ll find supports for your practice and its intersection with our District’s commitment to anti-racist practice and social justice. Know that in the next few weeks, more opportunities will be made available, so we will be back in touch soon.

Take care, and we are here for your questions,

Sara Parrell, on behalf of the Core Mindfulness Team
