You are not alone. We all experience a push and pull with our emotions and can benefit from exploring them in a truly mindful way.
Meet April Kaiserlian (LMSW) for a guided afternoon of learning how to welcome your emotions with acceptance, curiosity, and care in order to unlock their messages of wisdom, compassion, and connection.
Using mindfulness and April’s unique approach of Steady-Study-Shape, you will discover the ability to center yourself as you experience the full range of your emotions, how to “rough draft” their wisdom, offer a skillful boundary or request, and negotiate in relationship to yourself, others, and the world.
April will guide the group through several grounding practices, movement techniques, and periods of stillness. You’ll listen to your adaptive inner child, wise adult, and shadow self all while using your body as your guide to tune into your emotions with awareness, self-compassion, and self-care.

April has been practicing and teaching mindfulness and self-compassion for 15 years. She is a certified meditation teacher through Dharma Moon and the Tibet House and participates in monthly mentoring with her meditation teacher and author, Ethan Nichtern. April also maintains a psychotherapy practice for individuals and couples. She is passionate about combining meditation practices and psychotherapy to deepen our connection to our very real, messy, human emotions. When she teaches she likes to wear her t-shirt that says, “I love to be irritated” because loving irritation (and all emotions) is how we transform these energies into wisdom and compassion.
