The Mindful Life Community™ is excited to announce our next Mindful Living Skills webinar: Exploring Skills and Practices That Enhance Compassion

Register today to save your spot!

This webinar will focus on compassion and ways we can understand what it is and  how we can enhance compassion in our life. Our panelists will discuss ways they have practiced compassion and what they have personally found useful to developed it in their own lives.

The panel for this month’s webinar:

Mark Molony, co-founder of the Mindful Life Program™ Mark is a therapist, coach, and instructor in the Mindful Learning Year.

Marcus Kirkman: A native of NC, I recently relocated to the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC with my wife Allison. As a Certified Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Mindfulness in Recovery Facilitator, my passion is Compassionate service & Healing.

Clare Goodman: Participating in the personal development stream of the MLP was both a challenge and a joy. I found that both were needed in ample amounts to afford me a rich learning experience. I am a curious adventurer that seeks to understand the world I create and the meaning I make. At work I am passionate about helping leaders create human-centred workplaces. At home I create, write, embark on physical challenges, perhaps a little beyond what my body is capable of – and play with my energetic and imaginative grandchildren.


Our monthly webinars bring Mindful Life Program™ founders, teachers, and guests together in a collective conversation on key aspects of practice. Join us to learn, explore, and have a chance to ask questions during these live events. 

The webinars are open to anyone, so feel free to invite friends. They are free to members of the Mindful Life Community™ and Mindfulness in Recovery® Community. If you’re not a member of either, register for just $10.
