SUMMARY:Mindful Presence Series - Spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:“With so many things going on in our country\, and around the world\, I sometimes have a hard time grounding myself.

In the swirl of it all\, it’s easy to lose your ground. \nThis program offers practical mindfulness and embodiment practices to help you find your footing—both within yourself and in the world around you. Through guided sessions\, you’ll develop skills to: \n\nReclaim your attention in an age designed to fragment it\nCultivate presence and equanimity amid uncertainty\nBuild self-compassion as a foundation for sustainable and joyful leadership\nAccess tools and practices that help your nervous system settle and respond with intention rather than react\n\nWe will meet every other week for in-person sessions that will deepen your practice around attention\, awareness\, and grounded presence.  This program isn’t about adding more to your plate — it’s about choosing an intentional space to help you observe\, choose\, and lead with greater clarity and ease. \nWhether you’re new to mindfulness or returning to fundamental practices\, this program will create space for local leaders to step off the treadmill and connect with others on a similar journey\, and to build a more sustainable foundation for the meaningful work you do and lead. \nPROGRAM DETAILS \nDates:             3:00-5:00PM\, Mondays\, March 23\, April 6 & 20\, May 4 \nLocation:       Leading From Within training space\, Santa Barbara \nCost:               $150\, scholarships available to assure cost-accessibility \nINSTRUCTORS \n \nJennifer Reitz is a Master Somatic coach\, trainer and organizational consultant with over 20 years experience in leadership\, team development\, organizational change\, and strategic planning – as well as a Leading From Within board member.
