The Reconnection: A Six-Week Intro to Mindfulness
Saturday mornings: April 18 & 25 and May 9, 16, 23, & 30 (skipping May 2)
If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly on edge... welcome to being human in 2026!
We live in a culture that rewards urgency, optimization, and constant output. We spend more time on our devices than we do with people we love. And for many of us, the world is feeling increasingly polarized, frightening, and mean.
Of course we're exhausted. Of course we feel disconnected.
This course is an invitation to slow down and come home.
Over six slow Saturday mornings, you’ll learn the fundamentals of mindfulness--not just as a meditation technique, but as a different way of relating to your life.
Not by fixing yourself, not by pushing your feelings away, and not by escaping....
but by connecting with the wisdom, radiance, and steadiness that is already here, waiting to be uncovered.
We'll practice breath meditation, connecting deeply with our bodies, working with emotions and thoughts in a skillful way, and generally meeting whatever arises with a warm and gentle presence.
You may be surprised by what you find when you tune out the noise and reconnect with your body, intuition, and heart.
(Spoiler alert: you are so much more than your conditioning.)
My hope is that you leave feeling inspired, supported, confident, and deeply connected to yourself and your life.
No prior meditation experience required. This course is grounded in Buddhist vipassana practice, but taught in a secular manner.
Location:
Little Seeds, Lafayette, California
Who This is For:
Anyone who feels exhausted, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves or others and wants to feel more grounded, present, and alive.
Especially helpful for busy professionals, new parents, and caregivers.
It’s designed for beginners, but it's a great refresher for people with an existing meditation practice.

About Me:
Hi, I'm Julia! I'm a San Francisco employment attorney who represents high-achieving professionals navigating difficult workplace dynamics and career transitions, including many women facing pregnancy discrimination or maternity leave retaliation.
Through my work, I see how modern work culture leaves people feeling exhausted, burned out, and disconnected from themselves.
I’ve practiced mindfulness meditation for over a decade and am completing a year-long mindfulness teacher training with two renowned Buddhist teachers. I'm also trained in emotional intelligence and non-violent communication.
I created The Reconnection as a space to explore a slower, healthier, more expansive way of living.
