RFL Live: Resilience Experience with Laura Bartels

Laura Bartels will share skills to recognize empathic distress to move into compassion that results in resilience.

Laura Bartels is the Executive Director of the Mindful Life Program and is dedicated to helping people to live meaningful lives with attention and intention through practical, accessible and universal skills. Laura’s path has been one of navigating what it means to live consciously and meaningfully in the world. A background of 20 years in the field of sustainable building and community development offered a valuable foundation and perspective on the importance of inner sustainability. In 2001, after a serious car accident, and many layers of other significant life challenges, Laura began finding the value of meditation and mindfulness to grow through these challenges, finding parallels to her work in sustainability. It’s been a natural transition to move from “outer sustainability” to “inner sustainability”.
