Cultivating Our Capacity to Respond
Meet and transform what hinders us Nurture our heart’s resilience Learn to choose life in each moment
Sensory Awareness Programs
In the embodied mindfulness practice of Sensory Awareness, we explore simple activities to cultivate our sensory literacy and rediscover the wonder and wisdom of our bodies and natural responsiveness. When we “return to our senses” the habits that hinder us are revealed and our capacity to wake up, heal and appreciate life is nourished and strengthened.
The personal, lived experiences in these courses build trust and confidence in our innate natural responsiveness that allows room for more ease, joy and connection.
Las experiencias personales vividas en estos cursos generan confianza en nuestra capacidad de respuesta natural innata que brinda mas espacio para la tranquilidad, el goce y la conexión.
Sensory Awareness practice helps strengthen our capacity to adapt and to bring calm, clarity and loving responsiveness to a changing world.
Sensory Awareness practice helps strengthen resilience, clarity and the ability to respond even in the face of what is overwhelming and difficult.

About Lee
All of my work is focused on cultivating the capacity to connect to our own innate responsiveness, move beyond what limits or constricts us, and bring the best of ourselves to what is needed. There is so much in our world that we cannot change or control. Yet how we respond to the immediate possibilities and challenges of each moment is completely within our domain of influence, and can change the way we live.
Why Sensory Awareness?
Our Bodies Don't Lie
They connect us with anything stored from the past and projected into the future.
Being Present & Grounded
They help us discern what is needed in the present moment. The only true moment we have.
Curiosity & Kindness
The tension and constriction we may experience become an opportunity to show up with kindness, compassion and curiosity.
Freedom to Respond
When we are aligned with breath and our sensory experience we can respond with freedom and love to the request of each moment.
