Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

We are the Sylvanson family; Jessica, Dusty, and our son Kai.  We have found many benefits in our lives from learning mindfulness practices and want to share them with others.  In our quest to learn and share these tools, we have both become Mindful Life Program certified teachers. Read more about our additional trainings and life experience in our teacher profile pages.    

 

The practices we teach reach beyond just meditation and include learning to train focus and attention in general, as well as learning to relax a busy, over-stimulated mind and body.  They also include "attitude training".  What we focus on grows and we can create more conscious choice about our actions and attitudes.  We can learn to generate more positive attitudes that nurture and sustain healthy relationships and lifestyles.  It is possible to rediscover what values are most important to us and place them at the forefront of our lives with attention and intention. 

 

The Mindful Life Program (our parent organization) does all this through the Four Keys of Mindfulness:  attention, values, wisdom, and an open heart.  Our courses will focus on development of these Four Keys with mindfulness practices.  These courses are designed to be practical, accessible, and universal.  Anyone from any background will take away skills they can utilise right away to improve their lives.  They are also made to be safe and welcoming learning environments.  This is not about just sitting on a cushion - we will bring in practical skills you can activate in your life right now to make the best use of the precious time we have with our loved ones and communities.

This course was exactly what I needed at this time in my life. It provided an opportunity to not only connect with other people in our community, but to connect with the power we all have within ourselves. It allowed me to more deeply understand myself and to cultivate greater clarity through attentional balance. Of course, I am continuing to work to build mindfulness into my life, but I now have the tools and guidance to do so. I am looking forward to the influence this course will have on my family, my students and my community.
