nurture peace.
express love.
create wellbeing.

“peace.
it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”

Taught by M&V member and mindfulness coach, Kimberly

LaRue, Mindfulness in the Holidays workshop is the perfect

break from the busy happenings of the holidays. Just

thinking about the holidays may be stressful…While it can

be one of the most beautiful times of the year, the holiday

season is filled with extra activities and demanding

schedules and Kimberly can help give you tools to make it

less stressful.

Learn how to :

• Identify mental, emotional and physical stressors

related to the holidays

• How to work with loss and grief

• Cultivate gratitude and generosity practices

• Learn how to work with anxiety and expectations

• Cultivate awareness and self care

Holidays are times, and more importantly sacred times, not

just times of chores and drudgery. Mindful Holidays can be

a catalyst for creativity–the development of new rituals and

new possibilities.

Here’s an Event You DON’T Want to Miss!

One of the primary causes of nutritional imbalance is a lack of an essential human nutrient:  Mindfulness.

Mindfulness is the act of paying full, nonjudgemental  attention to our moment-to-moment experience.  This workshop explores how we can use mindfulness to free ourselves from unhealthy eating habits and improve our overall quality of life.

Whether you are overweight, suffer from an eating disorder or just want to get more out of life, this workshop offers a simple tool that can make a remarkable difference.

Please CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW and learn how to cultivate a fresh approach to nourishing your life.

This summer I helped in creating a pilot research program using Mindfulness for FAU’s Diabetes Education and Research Center (DERC) to educate children and their families
This program is managed by the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University.  The Diabetes Education and Research Center (DERC) provides support for children and adults who may be at risk for diabetes, have diabetes or are at risk of complications of diabetes.

Thanks to a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida Foundation, DERC is implementing their “Embracing a Healthy Tomorrow: Empowering Communities to Overcome Childhood Obesity” outreach effort to 1,400 children who are at-risk for obesity and diabetes and their parents via Palm Beach County-area schools, churches, community centers and youth programs. This summer we reached 350 children and adults.


The DERC efforts to prevent obesity and diabetes by reaching out to at-risk populations are well underway. This summer, we visited local day camps to advocate for healthy lifestyle changes. The above photo shows DERC staff member, Kimberly LaRue, leading a group of children in a mindfulness exercise.

Mindfulness Meditation Retreat
Society of the Four Arts

If you have taken an 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction(MBSR) class, we are holding a spot for you for the Mindfulness Meditation Retreat,  this Saturday, October 27th at the Society Of The Four Arts, Palm Beach.

Your day will begin at 10 a.m. with an introduction to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) by your teacher-guide, Kimberly LaRue.

This will be followed by several different types of practices that you can incorporate into daily life to remain more mindful and become more joyful. Learn how to connect with your thoughts, feelings and body sensations rather than to react to or suppress them.

Your complimentary day includes an introduction to MBSR, a bag lunch and  many practices to help you become more mindful and in turn more joyful.

Many practices will be done inside, but some can be done outside, if you choose.  If you choose the outdoors, please dress accordingly and consider hats and sun block.

You will need to bring:

  • a cushion or yoga mat  for your comfort
  • plenty of water, or beverage of your choice
  • whatever helps you attend to yourself and take care of yourself

Learn how to pay attention, on purpose, to relax, reduce stress and boost your immune system.

Space is limited contact Kimberly to RSVP.

Attendees will meet in the King Library at 10 a.m. with the day completing at 3 p.m.

Mindful Eating

Join mindfulness coach Kimberly LaRue as she teaches a workshop on Mindful Eating at Muses & Visionaries on November 6th.

Being mindful about eating helps you break free from routine habits by examining the thoughts, feelings and internal pressures that affect how and why you eat (or don’t eat.) Kimberly teaches that learning to eat mindfully will avail you more self awareness, more joy and less stress.

  • Get in touch with your intuition around food
  • Recognize your natural hunger and satiety cues
  • Know what your cravings really mean
  • Choose foods that are both pleasing and nourishing
  • Reclaim a healthy relationship with all food, all the time

“I want to tell you that what you’re looking for is already inside you.

You’ve heard this before, but the holy thing inside you really is that which causes you to seek it. You can’t buy it, lease it, rent it, date it or apply for it.

The best job in the world can’t give it to you. Neither can success, or fame, or financial security — besides which, there ain’t no such thing.”

- Anne Lamott, addressing a Stanford U. graduating class

Article: How to Best Help Alzheimer’s Caregivers?  Teach Them Mindfulness

“Mindfulness is good for our mind.  It also does wonder for our body.  Neuroscience shows mindfulness practice to have a positive effect on the immune system, and the treatment or prevention of stress-sensitive illness such as cancer, hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes.  Such health benefits have not gone unnoticed, and mindfulness is now practiced in many mainstream institutions such as medicine, psychology, health care and hospitals, schools, corporations, the legal profession, prisons, and professional sports.  MBSR alone is taught in 250 clinics in the U.S., and many other similar mindfulness based programs have spun out to address specific problems such as depression, addictions, relationship problems, eating disorders, elder care, etc.”
