Words, listening, presence, comfort - these are how we show care and connect with others in daily interactions.  But sometimes, while caring for others’ feelings, we forget that our own emotions, boundaries, and needs matter just as much.

When we treat ourselves with kindness first, we can connect with others more openly and genuinely.

Our monthly mindfulness practice offers a space to explore, practice, and share mindfulness together. Whether you're new to mindfulness or already practicing on your own, you're warmly welcome to join this supportive community. Together, we’ll slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and find ways to care for ourselves — so we can care for others with more balance and presence.

This session will be guided by Molly, a registered social worker and mindfulness teacher. We’ll explore how to stay aware of our own emotions and boundaries while supporting others, and learn how mindfulness and compassion can help us feel more nourished — not drained — by our relationships.

The event will be held in Cantonese.
