Module 4 The Breath: Guide to Presence and Joy

Trudy helps us work with the strong tendency to get lost in thought by connecting and reconnecting with the breath, our anchor to this present moment -- the only moment where joy and freedom are possible.

She also teaches how to include oneself in the circle of compassion to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue.
