Warming up to Kindness: Body, Heart, and Mind

As the season turns, let’s renew our commitment to deep self-care, rooted in mindful self-compassion with the support of gentle and accessible body-based practices.

At this quiet day of practice, look forward to meditations to ground and center, self-compassion exercises to explore emotional wellness, and gentle yoga, self-massage, and self-acupressure.

Tim Burnett is Mindfulness Northwest’s founder and Executive Director. He brings his extensive teaching in Mindful Self-Compassion, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and his work as a Buddhist teacher to the table along with his own journey towards knowing his emotions and learning how to be kinder to himself.

Guest teacher Raizelah Bayen is a certified yoga teacher and massage therapist, with over 20 years of teaching experience in self-care and wellness workshops. Raizelah is the owner and director of Open Pathways Institute for Integrative Massage Therapy. As a yoga teacher and bodyworker, Raizelah is passionate about teaching embodiment as a path to self-knowledge, kindness, and presence.

Participants will be in supportive silence for the duration of the day, while receiving warm guidance from Tim and Raizelah.
