Join Margaret in Winnipeg, Manitoba this spring, with Ground Up Professional Development Seminars, to explore mindfulness and the creative process.

Counsellors, mental health providers, and educators are invited to deepen your mindfulness practices in 2 days of skill development and conversation with colleagues. Margaret will present the stages of Mindfulness Based Art and the contemplative principles involved in practising these with clients. 

Then on Apr.30 join Margaret for a day of mindful art practice, "The Reflecting Pool," in a retreat setting. We will contemplate together and express our contemplations in the art. No experience in art or mindfulness is necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a desire to play. contact Margaret at [email protected]  

Thanks to everyone on the MIEN board and to all the staff and volunteers for a profound learning week-end. Congratulations and thank you to all the staff and teachers who are teaching our youth how to apply mindfulness in their lives, and how to listen to and express their own inner voice and wisdom in both peaceful and chaotic situations. We need you so much. Your work is profound. A big shout out to Dr. Michael Yellowbird for his presentation on the history of Native Americans in the USA. I am excited tohave the opportunity to see the Native American History museum tomorrow. And to all of you who attended my presentation, feel free to e-mail me for the slides. They will go up on the site in 6-8 weeks.
