Mindful Compassion Practice Series:
Cultivating Inner Resources through Healing Connections

Facilitated by Dr. Karen Piering Abbott, our Mindful Compassion Practice Series focuses on developing inner resources and resilience through mindful practices and compassionate connection. Together, we'll cultivate a steady rhythm of practice, reflection, and renewal—an ongoing practice you can weave into your daily life.

Through our sessions, we create a safe and supportive space that fosters healing and strengthens connection to self, others, and nature through empirically validated mindfulness practices, breathwork, gentle body movement, poetry, nature immersion, and collaborative sharing of our lived experience. We focus on the process—your emotions, body sensations and internal reactions—because healing unfolds through mindful awareness, compassionate witnessing, and authentic human connection.

Mindfulness Education

Journey with us on the path of presence, learning how to be in wise relationship to this moment, inwardly and outwardly, no matter what is happening.

Ancient contemplative wisdom intersects with modern Western neuroscience to reveal that, with practice, our brains can literally be “rewired” for resilience, joy, compassion, and embodied presence.

We offer experiential trainings grounded in evidence-based practices for health and healing of mind, body, heart, and soul.  To learn of events and offerings, join our mailing list (subscribe below) or contact us at kstewart@shallowford.org to explore possibilities to meet the needs of your organization and to receive a scope of work and cost structure.

Trail in Woods

"The way to find the real world is not merely to measure

and observe what is outside us,

but to discover our own inner ground."    

–Thomas Merton
