Strengthening Joy & Connection in Grandparenting
Do you ever feel a little left out of your children’s lives or decisions? Do you find yourself thinking you "should" be doing more, or struggling to navigate different parenting styles?
You're not alone. In our September Grandparent Gathering we'll look at new ways to approach these common challenges. We'll explore compassion-based practices and how to build stronger connections with family and a deeper sense of peace in the grandparenting journey.
This Grandparent Gathering will be facilitated by longtime mindfulness and yoga instructor, academic researcher, and educator Robyn Long (MSW).
