On June 9th we hosted a conversation with Frank Ostaseski and Vinny Ferraro:
Grief is a recognition of endings, and endings are a natural part of life. Knowing that things inevitably end can energize us—it’s a reminder to not waste a moment, to step into our life and live it with integrity and purpose. But endings can also be painful, uncomfortable, and difficult to work through.
In a conversation moderated by Mindful’s Vice President Operations Amanda Hester, Frank Ostaseski and Vinny Ferraro explore how we can journey through grief and meet endings with resilience and self-compassion.

On September 17th we hosted a conversation with Michelle Maldonado:
In this session, Michelle Maldonado offer insights and guided practices to help us open the doors to our hearts and move away from fear-based reactions.
When we’re tired and angry, we can slip into old habits and become more susceptible to feelings of dread and doom. This isn’t a failing, but a reminder to practice self-care and to recognize our common humanity.
