Coming to Rest

Led by Paloma Cain

A meditation to help you slow down. Bring rest to the body by creating awareness of the ground supporting you, your breath flowing in and out, and your thoughts slowing down.

Paloma Cain (she/her), MA, psychology, works to bridge the worlds of traditional Buddhist practice and contemporary mindfulness in clinical settings, seeing the commonality as the desire to relieve suffering. Experienced in teaching MBSR, mindful parenting, foundations of mindfulness classes, daylongs, sitting groups, and short retreats, she now works primarily in training and mentoring. She is authorized to teach by Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield.

In the words of her long-term mentees, Paloma’s mentoring is: Flexible. Responsive to what is alive in the moment. Supports the process of following one’s own insights and behaving in integrity. Vulnerable. Explores accountability and how to create safer inclusive space for folks across identity spectrums. Open-hearted. Willing to practice “off the beaten path.” Honors an individual’s journey. Trauma-informed. Safe to make mistakes and allow them to help us grow and learn. Emergent. Trusting the wisdom in the room. Honoring multiple wisdom traditions.

In her spare time, she’ll be found playing with her family, wandering open spaces, feeding people, reading, writing, and resting.
