A brief list of practitioners and resources I often refer.

The Center for Family Well Being
Girls in Tune Therapy Groups:  Girls In Tune offers educational, experiential and playful mindful awareness groups to help girls reduce stress, increase well-being and strengthen their connections to themselves and others. Groups are skill-based, body-mind centered and friendship-focused with emphasis on learning positive and affirming coping and relational skills. Through yoga, art, movement games, "talk time," play and more, girls learn to "tune in" to themselves and discover the power within to create calm and connection. Groups are appropriate for girlswho need assistance with: coping and self-regulation skills; learning to "read" themselves and others (i.e., managing friendships); reducing anxiety; and developing self-appreciation, esteem and confidence. Groups include: 5th and 6th grade girls; middle school girls; and high school girls. www.thecenterforfamilywellbeing.com

Washington Center for Consciousness Studies
The purpose of the Center is to enhance the study and practice of the art of becoming aware of the nature of our own awareness...of becoming conscious of consciousness itself. Utilizing both the methods of meditation and experiential phenomenology. the object of our personal awareness becomes awareness itself. In our various programs the goals are to learn to hold the awareness state, to enter into this innate immediate field of awareness, to rest deeply in the field and at moments becoming what we are.

Most of our seminars are designed to invoke the practice of meditation for the general public and are free of cost via the internet. Some seminars are more specifically designed for the psychotherapist and people dedicated to the healing arts who wish to amplify their developed skills in working within the field of awareness.  www.meditatelive.com
