This mindfulness sampler is facilitated by two experienced Kalamazoo Therapy Group therapists who incorporate mindfulness and meditation into their personal and professional lives on a daily basis. Get ready for some breathing, laughter, and even laundry while we debunk some common myths about mindfulness and meditation and help support you in creating a sustainable mindfulness practice that fits with your own daily life.
