Welcome To Mindfulness Meditation For Parents Introduction

This track is a wide welcome to all parts of yourself in a short 2-minute talk as an introduction to My Mindfulness Meditation Introduction class for Parents. This is to invite people of all countries, origins, abilities, genders, ages... in all their diversity to come to this class. The only common denominator needs to be taking care of children (whether little or grown-up)!
