MBSR + MSC - a VERY mindful invitation!

Published: Wed, 08/17/16

Hey ,


How’s your summer going?

I’ve got something to share with you – I’ve been brainstorming this idea for a long, long, long (did I mention long?) time, and now I am at the point that I absolutely must share it – or, quite possibly, just burst.

This whole brainstorming thing started with a sleepless January night (more on that to come) and was eventually followed by these words uttered to my best-est and wisest friend Kerri:



“It occurred to me today that I can observe all of my feelings, including anxiety, rather than avoiding it and pushing it out of sight. This witnessing feels calming, and peaceful, and infinitely more expansive than shrinking away from it, tensing up, and being afraid to feel.”



We talked for almost two hours about something that has been on my mind for a while now – figuring out a way to reset a sensitive nervous system - and yes! - get better sleep.

And the more we talked, the more it became obvious – we are onto something here, and we need to teach this stuff. So here it is, without further ado, the first installment in N.S.Reset series - Mindfulness Immersion Weekend.

Mindfulness Immersion Weekend is already 50% sold out (even though I haven't advertised it to public yet!!!) - all currently registered Satori students always get first dibs on all the events, and they sure have taken this opportunity to heart.

Here is your chance to register for Mindfulness Immersion Weekend - please don't delay as it is selling out fast!


MINDFULNESS IMMERSION Weekend – October 1 - 2:


Mindfulness begins with an amazingly simple concept.

“Paying attention – on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”

When you hear this definition, it almost seems too easy… But is it really?





Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Saturday, October 1, 9 - 1 and 2:30 - 4:30


Since its inception in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the MBSR program has been consistently successful in helping many thousands of people from around the globe to reduce persistent pain, better cope with chronic illness, conquer anxiety and insomnia, and, in general, live happier, more fulfilled lives.

Learn how you can get off the emotional roller coaster of reacting to whatever life throws at you. Discover your own unique stress reaction patterns. Harness mindfulness to build stress resilience and recover your ability to meet, greet and respond, not react, to the challenges of your daily life.


Cost: 137$ + GST  |  use coupon code NSRESET10 to save 10$ off your registration before Sept 7





Introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion
Sunday, October 2, 9 - 1
Full Weekend Registration Only


Embrace Mindful Self-Compassion as the foundation for emotional healing.
Mindful self-compassion means holding difficult emotions—fear, anger, sadness, shame and self-doubt—as well as ourselves - in loving awareness.

Often those of us who need mindfulness the most are the ones who feel we have the least time to practice it. That’s why we also included a Sunday bonus session, “Building Better Habits With Ease,” to ensure that you have a practical skill set to integrate mindfulness and self-compassion practices into your daily life.

A word about Kerri – she will co-facilitating this workshop:

My dear friend – and a fellow Chopra Center Vedic Master - Kerri hails from Edmonton, where she passionately teaches yoga and mindfulness to anyone who’d listen (and hopes it is rubbing off on her husband and three children).

Kerri holds a degree in kinesiology and exercise physiology, a master’s degree in public health, as well as numerous teacher certifications in mindfulness and its applications. Her PhD thesis (a work in progress) is on applying mindfulness to improve stress resiliency.

She works tirelessly to bring mindfulness teachings within everyone’s reach – and I feel super-duper lucky to have her as my co-conspirator.
