Back by popular demand! The Kabat-Zinns return to Seattle after inspiring a sell-out crowd at Town Hall last January. This time, in a more intimate setting, Jon and Myla invite you to join them for a conversation on the challenges and joys of bringing greater awareness and presence to the constantly changing landscape of parenting.

Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn is the world-leading scientist, researcher and meditation teacher who brought mindfulness to mainstream society. His internationally best-selling books include Wherever You Go, There You Are, Full Catastrophe Living and Everyday Blessings, co-authored with his wife, Myla.

“For me, mindfulness, cultivated in periods of stillness and during the day in various things I find myself doing, hones an attentive sensitivity to the present moment that helps me keep my heart at least a tiny bit more open and my mind at least a tiny bit clear, so that I have a chance to see my children for who they are, to remember to give them what they most need from me, and to make plenty of room for them to find their own ways to be in the world.” Myla Kabat-Zinn
