Mindful Parenting Workshop
“Embracing What is Apparent”
Sunday | 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
800 West Avenue, Suite C-1| Miami Beach, Florida
Enrollment Fee is $75.00
Join Scott Rogers as he leads a group workshop on mindfulness for parents, and child-care givers. This two-hour workshop offers an introduction to "mindfulness" and its real-world application in the context of parenting. Registration is limited to 10 people to enhance the interactive and experiential portions of the program.
To really be present is to embrace what is apparent. And to be a grounded parent is to have the courage and insight to embrace what is real. Mindfulness allows us to see more clearly the ways that we can get lost in past and future -- in regret and worry -- and compromise our ability to really be there for our child -- and ourselves.

all day the benefits of being "present" and in touch with the present moment, it is only when we actually cultivate ways to experience present moment awareness that it can begin to transform us. The workshop offers an interactive discussion of mindfulness along with experiencing exercises for toning down mental chatter and cultivating greater mindful awareness. Together we will learn ways to see more clearly the thoughts and feelings that arise in our minds as we interact with our children (and live life). Rather than getting caught up in old dramas and afflicted reactivity, we remain centered and surprise ourselves with our ability to really be there -- ready for what arises moment by moment.
Maintaining a more grounded presence as we listen to, speak with, and guide our children through their lives, we offer them so much more of our intuitive wisdom, clarity, and compassion. And, in turn, so much is offered to ourselves.
The Workshop includes an introduction to mindfulness practice, discussion of brain science and neural-integration, mindfulness exercises, guided imagery, and personal attention.
The Institute for Mindfulness Studies offers instruction and consultation in mindfulness- based contemplative practices. Our services are tailored to the individual, small groups, and large organizations.

TESTIMONIALS
“I found myself always thinking, analyzing, and planning ahead. This constant activity left me feeling exhausted and sapped me of any ‘joie de vivre.’ Since meeting Scott and incorporating his mindfulness techniques into my everyday life, I feel less anxious and, in short -- Happier.” I am very grateful to Scott and his techniques. I encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed and over-stimulated to meet with Scott. It will change your life.”

I think the key word is "balance." Through Scott's tremendous help, I have learned to incorporate balance into my life. I really feel great. I have great energy and I actually feel so happy that I am in control of my body. It has been a tremendous experience and one that I recommend to anyone who is fed up with watching their metabolism take over and think there is nothing to do about it. Scott Rogers will change that for you and bring balance into your life.
