In this episode, Flurina sits down with 5th grader Lily to talk about mindfulness in real life — on the playground, in the classroom, and in those moments when big feelings take over.

Together they explore simple tools they’ve learned in class: gratitude practices, ways to calm down during a meltdown, and some easy-to-understand neuroscience about what’s going on in the brain and body.

Later in the conversation, a mother and teacher joins to share how these same mindfulness practices are enriching her own life and the lives of her students.

This episode is full of practical, kid-friendly tips to help children (and the adults who love them) regulate strong emotions and become the steady “driver” of their wonderfully complex bodies and minds.

In this heartfelt conversation, Flurina welcomes author and inter-faith leader Sande Hart to explore The Liminal Odyssey: the alchemical magic that lives in those moments of transition. Sande introduces the exploration of the spaces “in-between,” when our lives quietly reshape themselves. She invites us into her own threshold-journey—from profound loss and global activism to tender invitations from the soul—and shows how each of us can inhabit those spaces with courage, curiosity, and love.

This liminal terrain holds keys to our deeper purpose, and our collective awakening. If you’ve ever felt suspended between chapters, uncertain of what’s next, this episode is your invitation to lean in, listen deeply, and allow the mystery of the in-between to lead you home.

How can mindfulness be taught in schools playfully and with deep impact? Andrew Jordan Nance, my guest in this conversation, is the founder and lead trainer for Mindful Arts San Francisco and author of popular mindfulness books for kids. Andrew and Flurina share in this episode their long experience going to classrooms teaching mindfulness to students. You learn many practical tips how to invite more mindfulness in to your life and how to bring it to kids. We talk about big emotions, story telling, breathing and gaining freedom through awareness. Andrew paints a colorful picture of his fantastic children's books and how to use them.  He also elaborates on the mindfulness curriculum he wrote: Mindful Arts in the Classrooms. No matter if you are an educator, working with kids, are a parent or grandparent, this episode is for you.

Are you longing to simplify your life and find more quality time and meaning? Are you wondering how to slow down the hamster wheel you are on? In this conversation with Andy Couturier, we talk about his book, “The Abundance of Less” and how it is inviting us to slow down. It inspires us to find more purpose in our daily lives.

The book profiles ten men and women who have left mainstream life in urban Japan to live surrounded by the luxuries of nature, art, friends, homegrown food, and an abundance of time. They manifest each one in their own way a life which is sustainable, deeply meaningful, and full of creativity and connection to each other and the land.

This is an invitation to reconnect with your inner values.
