Mindful Parenting Conference, Whitby, Ontario

Ann will be back at the Mindful Parenting Conference this fall, after helping to launch the conference with her opening keynote address in 2015. This year, she'll be talking about "The Power of Stories." More here: Stories are the threads that make up the fabric of our lives, weaving together a tapestry of past experiences. They help us understand who we are and give us the courage to dream about who we hope to become. Making sense of our stories allows us to make conscious and deliberate parenting choices: to be mindful about our actions and intentions, and to treat ourselves and our children with kindness and compassion. In this personal yet practical workshop, you’ll discover how stories can inform and inspire your parenting while positively transforming your family and community. 
 
 “Each of us has the power to change the world. That change is sparked when we dare to share the contents of our hearts with other people. Sharing your story can be life changing — for you and for everyone else whose lives you touch.”
– Ann Douglas
