Register for the three-session series on Wednesday evenings or the six-week series on Monday mornings. Both options explore how to bring more mindful awareness into your parenting or grandparenting.
The new three-week series will be a different take on the popular six-week Mindful Parenting and Grandparenting class that we have been offering since 2011. Many parents have requested an evening offering of the class, so we are excited to offer this series on the first three Wednesdays of April from 6 to 8 p.m. at USN.

Parents themselves, facilitators Paloma Cain and Mary Agee bring a depth of experience, wisdom and humor.
The learning objectives are to:
