As we come to the end of the year, I just want to say thank you!

Thank you for showing up for yourselves, for your kids, and for this beautiful community we’re building together.

I know this season can feel full, so I hope you’re finding a few quiet, mindful moments that feel truly restorative.

We’ll be continuing our Harvard-Westlake Mindfulness Club programming next month in 2026, and we are so lucky to move from zoom to two in-person gatherings coming up in January.

I’d love to see you at one or both!

1) Tao Calligraphy with Winnie Wang (In Person)

Thursday, January 22, 2026 | 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Join us for a calm, hands-on Tao Calligraphy session with Winnie Wang. No experience needed.

2) Mindful Intention-Setting Potluck (In Person)

Saturday, January 24, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Laurie and Brian Shiers will co-teach. Brian will lead a meditation, then Laurie will guide expressive arts work to help you reflect and set intentions for the year ahead. After that, we’ll share a potluck meal together.
