We are thrilled to announce "Growing Self-Compassionate Children," a unique 3-week online course that brings together three incredible leaders in the field of mindfulness, self-compassion, and parenting: Shauna Shapiro, Wendy O’Leary, and Louise Shanagher.
This course is an exceptional opportunity to learn from Dr. Shauna Shapiro, a globally renowned mindfulness expert, TEDx speaker, and professor at Santa Clara University. Joining her are Wendy O’Leary, award-winning author and mindfulness educator, and Louise Shanagher, founder of Creative Mindfulness for Kids. Together, they will provide deep insights, actionable practices, and inspiring ideas for integrating self-compassion into family life.
This event is not only an exceptional learning opportunity but also a celebration of the launch of the book, Growing Self-Compassionate Children: A Family Guide for Nurturing Resiliency and Kindness.

presentation will explore how we can practice caring more deeply for
ourselves, specifically as parents and caregivers. We will explore the
