You care about your team and you are so busy, you can’t imagine this is the only way to lead and live. YOU WANT MORE and for good reason. Problems at work find their way into your off-hours... problems at home show up at work. Yet it feels like you are separated into parts and pieces and always under pressure. . You are a high performer and doing what is right for your team. You stand up for individual dignity. Your team are high achieving and stressed to the max and many don’t even have kids yet. Everyone is doing their best just to make it through the day. This can’t be all there is to life. There is more and and it is a lot closer then you think. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1581622172355-JBIYWMEYN4167NVICSCY/rhs+orange+with+web.png Coaching - You deserve to be heard, validated and connected. Real humans at work need real human solutions. The kind you appreciate at work and go easily overlooked. Things such as: truthfulness, caring, collaboration, open-mindedness, generosity, leadership Just to name a few. You are not educated in and not paid sums of money for excelling at these attributes, they are just acquired mostly haphazardly. The difference between being physically here with your mind elsewhere vs. present and engaging in life is about developing the real human skills that bring out the best in humanity and your potential realized. https://www.drbena.com/articles daily 0.75 2020-02-14 https://www.drbena.com/mindfulness-in-action-mentorship daily 0.75 2020-04-13 https://www.drbena.com/workplace-mindfulness-retreats daily 0.75 2020-04-13 https://www.drbena.com/my-journey daily 0.75 2020-04-13 https://www.drbena.com/about daily 0.75 2020-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1586806359091-2BQMM8GXGTFMA4JITBXG/walkingin+no+background.png About https://www.drbena.com/gallery-3 daily 0.75 2020-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1562691814956-CR2MG89QGH2SM8YJ14VZ/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Gallery 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1579837747669-E7EDMAA0LNGDBL3FNCQR/Large+JPG-20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Gallery 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1579837753128-YXTJV8JP94C2893VE0BD/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Gallery 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1579837757630-TPAJ70D80C91I9JDXLZJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Gallery 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1579837766043-FHTGEZ57HV5ZAFN3Z4JR/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0393.jpg Gallery 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1579837803523-DDDJJ4J3GJ82V7YLWUPN/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Gallery 3 https://www.drbena.com/book-a-call daily 0.75 2020-04-14 https://www.drbena.com/starthere daily 0.75 2020-06-11 https://www.drbena.com/realhumanskills-community daily 0.75 2020-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/speaker-1 daily 0.75 2020-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1606935647658-8MKB9EPP0YQS4PM2Z2PI/zoom.jpg Workshops - Speaker - Guest Lecturer (Copy) - How can you help your students go from stressed to calm, distracted to focused ?

Each leisurely walk is guided by spiritual guide and coach, Dr. Bena Long. Each mindfulness walk will cover a different area of interest and be 60 minutes long.

We will integrate walking meditation practices and gentle, easily accessible movement. We complete the walk with discussion about the experience connecting to nature, ourselves and each other. Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes as we walk the nature trails together. Please bring a water bottle and and preparations for your comfort.

(Intended for ages 13 and up) Weather permitting - If the weather is too bad to walk we will add onto the next Sunday until the series is completed. There are no make ups for missed walks and non refundable. Once the 10 spots are taken, we can put you on a wait list for the next series. Meet you in the moment, on the trail! https://www.drbena.com/ahimsa-yoga daily 0.75 2023-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1692907133089-0F9POFQXDWFYI8U6EGZT/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1692908081148-RU0OS603KBLVYHVV2YKX/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1692907614096-GG9PV8LP92MIZZQ76LPM/image-asset.jpeg https://www.drbena.com/thursday-meditations daily 0.75 2024-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e42ccbb4586a62cccb25cb9/1730909981598-OXLA96Z8110272JD5NSL/unsplash-image-uftqFbfWGFY.jpg https://www.drbena.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://www.drbena.com/store daily 0.75 2020-02-14 https://www.drbena.com/store/p/style-03-2nwzk monthly 0.5 2019-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1560789238792-J10LURU9YIH9N7QWTTV9/oodin-Front_0004_Layer-Comp-5-v1-FINAL.jpg Store - Style 03 https://www.drbena.com/store/p/style-02-2mrxj monthly 0.5 2019-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1560789238792-J10LURU9YIH9N7QWTTV9/oodin-Front_0004_Layer-Comp-5-v1-FINAL.jpg Store - Style 02 https://www.drbena.com/store/p/style-01-5zhyw monthly 0.5 2019-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c5a514d65019f01a2cb2be5/1560789208513-A5HHTVPE6WUAEO1O9SOX/oodin-Front_0000_Layer-Comp-1-v1-FINAL.jpg Store - Style 01 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1 daily 0.75 2024-12-10 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/7-day-morning-flow-challenge monthly 0.5 2021-11-17 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/mindful-meditation monthly 0.5 2021-11-17 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/yoga-for-beginners monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/hosted-with-custom-z9ehj-dwh9x-p5xnd monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/sunday-morning-flow-wwkfj-94x3j monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/saturday-morning-flow-xw6jw-faxsp monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/friday-morning-flow-6esng-ag6em monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/thursday-morning-flow-xay84-7xw85 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/wednesday-morning-flow-bd32w-azh7y monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/monday-morning-flow-c5f9z-r8egd monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/new-video-k65jc-4nlbb monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/daily-calm-yyhd4-3tep8 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/planet-earth-mejnx-d2a8y-4pdbd monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/everything-to-sell-anything-427ge-88xsk-s2tm5 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/john-mcenroe-does-voice-over-now-zpk5h-tc9nt-66xg8 monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/how-to-create-an-under-construction-page-nmhkn-et8z6-9j7cg monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/how-to-use-twitter-blocks-g9mnf-4n8yt-gjfat monthly 0.5 2022-06-15 https://www.drbena.com/videos-1/v/it-is-nhsde-3akh4-h2tpc monthly 0.5 2022-06-15
