Our perspective becomes the scaffolding for our practice, and at the same time, our practice helps us develop clearer understanding and wiser ways of relating with ourselves and the world around us.

Mindfulness of Social Communications
Mindfulness can help us make space to examine the intentions behind our social communications and align them with our highest values.

Mindfulness of Conduct
Mindfulness training offers us an embodied way of knowing when our choices are beneficial and when they are harmful. We become more conscious of the good feelings that arise when we act in alignment with our deepest values. With dedicated practice comes wisdom and a natural inclination toward what contributes to our collective wellbeing.

Intention is the driver behind action and our ethics inform our intentions. Together these concepts are important because they orient us and point us in a certain direction. Aligning our mindfulness practice with our highest values helps us step out of the cycle of suffering and live with greater purpose.
