Founder, Teacher, Teacher Trainer

During the 80’s and 90’s as I juggled career, family, and eventually became a stay-at-home-mom to our four kids, I continued to study different traditions and techniques but I didn’t want to be identified as a Buddhist or a Yogi or an anything. I just wanted to feel less angry, and frustrated. I wanted my vision of who I was and the reality of how I was acting to align.

Brenda began exploring spiritual paths while trying to find genuine connections with other moms in her area. In October 2014, she found a mom’s meditation class taught by Caren Prentice and through that, she discovered a community that has seen her through some of her best and worst times as a parent.

Liisa started meditating as a last-ditch effort to relieve anxiety and depression, which made her daily life difficult and her role as a wife and mom to her two elementary-aged children nearly impossible. She sought relief from her ruthless inner critic, worry, fear, panic, anger, overwhelm, and grief. Initially, she didn’t believe she could experience calmness and joy regularly.
