28 Day Circle Facilitators

Rita Clagget – In addition to regularly teaching MLP Foundations courses, Rita has consistently practiced mindfulness meditation regularly for over fourteen years. Her lifelong connection to nature led to an early recognition of the interdependence of all beings, which led inevitably to an interest in Buddhism, and ultimately to certification as an MLP Mindfulness Teacher. She has meditated daily since 2010, at least twice daily since November 2016, and now incorporates all aspects of MLP’s mindfulness approach into her daily practice. Outside of mindfulness, Rita has practiced low-impact living in harmony with nature for thirty years. She lives off-the-grid in an adobe home, and cultivates food and healing plants as well as pollinator and wildlife habitat in her gardens.

Laura Hess – Her personal mindfulness practice began over 20 years ago and has been a wonderful journey into self-understanding, growth, and transformation. In 2017, Laura was introduced to the teachings of the Mindful Life Program and chose to embark on the year-long teacher training. The concepts and teachings fulfilled her passion to share the teachings with others. In addition, Laura has over 30 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner, educator, and leader. Laura has always been passionate about promoting and meeting the needs of patients and colleagues with care and compassion. Her mindfulness practice has been a key component of her professional career. In her free time she enjoys reading, knitting, and spending time connecting with family and friends.

Kevin Walsh – Kevin is a retired physician who was in clinical practice for over 30 years.  He started his career as a primary care physician before becoming an Addiction Medicine specialist at Kaiser-Permanente in 1999.   In addition to clinical practice, Kevin has been active in clinical education, teaching other healthcare professionals communication skills, Addiction Medicine, and pain management. He has had a daily mindfulness practice since 2009 and has been an MLP Certified Teacher since 2018.   Kevin is deeply committed to helping others learn, understand, and practice mindfulness to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Elements of Support in our 28 Day Daily Practice Circle

  • Opening Live Event, January 9th, 6 pm MST US (in Australia, January 10, 12 pm AEST)
  • Dedicated support and conversation space within the Mindful Life Network™ 
  • Each week we’ll introduce the theme with an article and share a new recorded meditation for that week. You also have access to a collection of our guided meditations for the 28 days.  
  • Each day you’ll find a new practice inspiration, tip or technique 
  • Downloadable resources such as the “Rhythm of a Daily Practice” and more.  
  • We encourage those who join to attend the live weekly mindfulness meetings that we offer. Since we have members in many time zones, there are no daily live events. 

From our own experience, we understand that it can be difficult to develop new habits, even if we know they will benefit our life. A daily mindfulness practice, once established, becomes a strong support for flourishing in your life. Because we know that it is hard to start and maintain an effective practice, this 28 Day Practice Circle was created to support you in your aspiration to explore and implement a consistent daily mindfulness practice. You are joined by a circle of Mindful Life Program™ certified mindfulness teachers, members of our mindfulness communities, and others with similar intentions as you. It is our firm conviction that everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, or orientation deserves to live a meaningful and happy life. This includes you – you are worth it. So together, let’s practice.

What people have shared…

 
“I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity. Each day I was inspired by your words and of others in the community. I will continue on this path. Thank you.” 
“I admittedly was unsure about the benefits of an online community, especially with people whom I haven’t met. However, I have been surprised with the support and accountability that I’ve felt from all of your thoughts, wisdom, posts. It truly has reinvigorated my mindful practice this month.”
“I’m so grateful for this 28 day circle and all of you. I’ve grown a little in my practice the past few weeks, and any growth is enough. It has reinvigorated my practice and my overall demeanor is more calm these past few weeks. I’m sure the ripple effects from this experience will continue outward. Thank you especially Laura, for taking the time to bring us readings that draw our attention to sometimes new ideas, or old ideas to ponder. This has been a fantastic experience.” 

Support yourself in these 28 days of practice with the Daily Practice Journal

Order a Daily Practice Journal on our MLP store. We encourage you to use one and many find it key to their daily practice, though you can participate with just the resources offered in the 28-day program. 

Whether you are just beginning a practice, looking to refresh or further develop your daily mindfulness practice, these four weeks will be a chance to grow and develop.
