The complicated experience of being a caregiver engages us in body, mind and spirit. It can be enriching and depleting, joyful and frustrating, intimate and isolating all at the same time! This class will introduce Zen concepts that can be very useful in supporting a calm, mutually rewarding caregiving experience. Using humor, storytelling and group discussion, this class provides a new take on ancient wisdom as a way to support your caregiving experiences.
