Each session will open with taking some time to connect and presence ourselves in the virtual space: unmuting ourselves, saying hello, telling a story, saying something about how things are going. Next, we will do some breathwork, then a short gratitude practice, and then a short practice of acknowledging (silently) our hopes, our longings, what we are wanting more of in/from life, maybe even asking for it.
Following this we will do one of three practices:
1. Coming to our senses
2. Cultivating Equanimity
3. Guided Imagery (active imagination)
