Where Are We Now?
Parental Self-Care during a Pandemic
Friday, February 26 @ 8:30 a.m. via Zoom
Spring draws near despite the snow – a time to thaw, seek ease and bloom anew. With much of the past year spent sheltering in place with our families, stress levels can feel overwhelming. How might we find moments to care for ourselves as we parent through a pandemic?
Join this virtual conversation with CSW parents to share insights, honor needs, and feel encouraged. Discover simple self-care practices that engage our inner wisdom to enhance wellBeing and revitalize loving relationships. Learn ways to:
- observe the power of the Pause
- find solace in the observational mode
- shift habits with micro-actions
- set clear boundaries and invite compassion
- deepen interactions with your teen / child
- try easy mindful practices that align with your way of Being
Mindful wellness expert Lara Wilson, MA, GCMS, founder of Be Well Be Here and parent of four young adults (including a CSW senior) will share practical strategies for greater wellBeing and connection. Gather online in community and experiment with ways to mindfully get through times of challenge and joy.

A ruby crocus near the porch sends up
hope—winter of sorrow is waning
the dire moon of almost-spring rises
full with promise of renewal,
shaming twinkling city lights in its splendor.

I search for my faith, wonder where
I lost it, find it in deep cinnamon
mud smushing up between my toes.
Across a spent field, a lake in shadow
serenades curvature of earth.
As if on cue, a comet streaks
across somber roiling river of sky.
