DESCRIPTION:As parents today\, we face unprecedented and disorienting techn
 ological\, cultural\, and socio-political change. This talk will explore w
 ays to bring mindfulness into our parenting at all ages and stages\, as we
  navigate raising our children in today's world. Mindfulness is not a quic
 k fix solution to the challenges of parenting. Rather\, it is the gradual 
 cultivation of a new way of being present with the totality of our experie
 nce\, allowing us and our children greater access to our natural creativit
 y\, flexibility\, heartfulness\, intuitive wisdom\, and values when the st
 akes are highest and we need them most.\n\nThis lecture is one of four ses
 sions taught by Teresa LaMendola Kabat-Zinn and Will Kabat-Zinn in the Con
 templation By Design Summit. You are welcome to join one or all sessions.

 g Interactive Session: Loving Awareness in Action on October 19\, a guided
  practice with Teresa titled Cultivating Connection on October 21\, and a
