Each month, we invite the teachers at WITHIN to offer wisdom and inspiration around a particular topic. In November, we’re talking about kindness & compassion - one of the essential wings of the mindfulness bird that allows an awakened heart & mind to take flight!
On November 18th, three of our teachers will get together for an informal conversation on Zoom exploring this month’s theme: Manisha Dudley, Lauren Madigan and Kim Nicol. Whether you join them live 9:30-10:30am PST / 12:30-1:30pm EST, or listen to the recording afterwards, you’re sure to get a variety of perspectives and ideas to nourish your meditation practice.
Anyone can submit a question ahead of time for the teachers - just fill out this quick form. We also welcome your questions live! Please note, during the conversation we will record both the questions submitted and the responses from the teachers. If you’d prefer that we not mention your name, be sure to indicate that on the form or when you type your question in the Zoom chat.
This conversation will be held online via Zoom; the link will be provided to you via email when you register. Registration is $15.
If you’re a WITHIN Member, this is included in your membership - email us for the promo code!

Now, she is passionate about sharing the gift of breathwork and meditation to spread the love, acceptance and joy that it has brought to her own life. The breathwork practices that Lauren shares can be used to deepen one's spirituality, release limiting beliefs, and come back to a heart-centered place of love and expansion.
