Held and Whole: A Restorative & Educational ADHD Retreat
For those navigating life with ADHD, this thoughtfully designed weekend offers nourishment for your nervous system, body, and brain. Together, we’ll explore practical, mindfulness-based tools to strengthen emotional regulation, deepen self-awareness, and foster authenticity—all anchored by accessible approaches for cultivating kindness, compassion, patience, and joy.
This retreat will focus on ADHD-friendly ways to begin contemplative practices, or deepen your existing one, with an emphasis on how mindfulness-based supports enhance all aspects of ADHD care
Managing ADHD with Mindfulness Course
ADHD is often misunderstood as simply a challenge with focus and hyperactivity. In reality, it stems from executive function difficulties—impacting planning, organization, emotional regulation, and task execution.
Mindfulness offers a powerful, research-backed approach to support children, adults, and families by reducing stress, improving self-regulation, and strengthening communication by integrating mindfulness base strategies into the rest of evidence-based ADHD care.
To empower professionals in this area, I’ve partnered with the Mindful Society Global Institute to develop a 6-module, research-based, on-demand course designed to provide practical mindfulness strategies for ADHD management.

Build Connection, Communication & Compassion Through Mindful Breathing
Our own breathing practice helps support and protect the world. We each can only do so much, we’re all imperfect, and we all make plenty of mistakes. And yet, setting the intention to practice mindfulness changes life for us, our family and friends, and the world around us too. Meditation builds our ability to relate to our experiences with more intention and skill, not perfect calm or focus. With practice, we each can become more resilient, precise in our actions, and more at ease. With that, our breathing practice becomes not about our well-being alone.
Taking time to care for ourselves fundamentally shifts how we relate to, and support, the people around us. Expanding upon and exploring our breathing practice, this eight-week program emphasizes practices that influence how we engage with other people.
It’s an easy concept to understand, and a hard one to practice and sustain. Whenever we approach a situation with clarity, unbiased objectivity, and a sense of compassion, that greatly impacts what is likely to happen next. Setting the intention to live in this way changes everything for us, our family and friends, and the rest of the world too.
Build Positive Traits & Habits Through Mindful Breathing
What you’ll learn:
Breathing meditation may seem like a simple and specific activity to undertake yet in reality it offers layers of meaning and depth for our exploration. Making mindfulness practice a habit, we build far more than only focus. We influence many varied mental traits through that effort and repetition. We become more resilient, precise in our actions, and feel more at ease.
Our practice of mindfulness is a marathon, not a sprint. We aim to influence our daily lives without expecting an instant miracle. We’re not specifically aiming to be relaxed, calm or happy. Instead, with each breath we take, we build valuable traits that change how we live. Attention and awareness. Staying settled when uncomfortable. Proactively managing our habits and assumptions. Compassion, and more. For this class, we will stay with our breathing practice throughout. As the intention of this course is to provide straightforward guidance while exploring your breathing practice, it contains fewer theoretical explanations. It is designed so that you can listen to the sessions daily and begin practicing right away.
Each week (or however long you choose) the intention for the practice shifts, exploring different aspects of our meditation and cultivating a broader depth of practice. Listen to each session to set yourself up with the instruction. Then once a day, use either the recording of the session itself or a mindfulness-based breathing practice of your choice to explore the session instructions. Trust yourself. Choose where to put your effort and intention. Reveal your innate resilience and wisdom, one breath at a time.
