Zen Together

Being a parent, grandparent, or caregiver means giving so much of yourself every day. It’s beautiful, but it’s also intense, overstimulating, and sometimes overwhelming.

This is why mindfulness isn’t optional for parents — it’s essential. When you take moments to reconnect, breathe, and come back to yourself, your child feels that calm through you. Your presence becomes their sanctuary.

Zen Together is a welcoming space where you practice mindfulness while your little one is free to play, explore, join in certain practices in their own way, or simply be near you. You’ll be guided through practices such as breathing, meditation, sound healing, Reiki, visualization, and mindset coaching — all designed to support your clarity, presence, self-awareness, and groundedness while being mindful of your child’s needs.

Participants can expect to:

• Feel calmer and more present in the everyday chaos of early parenting
• Learn practical tools and the “why” behind them, so they’re easy to use at home
• Build deeper connection and ease with their child through guided presence.

When I Put Myself First, I Put My Family First.

What People Are Saying…

"I attended Zen Together with my 1.5-year-old and 5-year-old, and it was a deeply grounding experience. The space felt calm and genuinely supportive, with no pressure to control or quiet my children. Their movement and noise were truly welcomed as part of the practice. Dawn’s gentle guidance helped me slow down and stay present, even with young kids beside me. The group setting made the mindfulness practice feel more powerful and connected. I left with simple, practical tools I could immediately use in daily life.” Monica, Napa Mom

“This experience impacted how I parent, using mindfulness, day to day. What an experience, to be able to have Dawn guide me to be present and in my body while my child runs, crawls, yells and plays and gets all her wiggles out, in the background. It was grounding and relaxing. I was most moved when Dawn guided my full attention to the practice of responding to my child, "while in flow". This is something I don't always remember to do, and my goal is to be consistently connected so I can come back to this, over and over. I wholeheartedly recommend a session to any parent, especially first time parents.” Amaka, Napa Mom

“Since having my daughter 3 years ago it has been so challenging to find ‘me’ time. Creating this space where we can practice mindfulness but also is inclusive of the little ones was so amazing!

We will definitely be doing this class again soon!” Kaleigh, Napa Mom

During each 1-hour session, you’ll enter a calm, supportive environment that gives you full permission to slow down. Dawn will guide you through mindfulness and coaching practices created for you — while making space for your child to interact, play, observe, or be themselves in the room.

Group mindfulness amplifies the experience, helping you drop more deeply into presence than when practicing alone.

Each session offers a practical tool, insight, or action you can bring into your daily rhythm as a parent or caregiver.

At Zen Together, you never have to worry about your child making noise or moving around. Their presence is part of the practice. When you regulate, they co-regulate. When you are mindful, they feel it — a resonance that becomes even more powerful in community.

Each session may include:

Moving meditation

Seated mindfulness meditation

Sound healing (kept at a safe, low volume)

Affirmations

Breath practices

Visualization

Mindset coaching

Reiki
