Milestone celebrations!

In 2010, my life was a messy blur when I was diagnosed with cancer. 

Mindfulness and meditation became a solid foundation for dealing with... well, everything in my life.  The ups, downs and sideways.

 

In 2023, I celebrate 12 years leading workplace mindfulness and 9 years training and being in community with compassionate facilitators to bring mindfulness to others.

With deep gratitude, I am here to serve.

~Wendy Quan
