Non-judgement and empathy are building blocks for creating safety rooted in connection.

When adults and caregivers notice shifts, it's important to signal we're paying attention and we want to know more about what those feelings, experiences, or thoughts mean for them.

Through paying attention to our own systems of regulation and the underlying messages we carry, we can show up differently. By approaching our own experiences in this very same way of compassion and validation, it becomes more familiar.

Your compassion practice for self creates a roadmap for those around you.

We recently made our commitment to creating spaces where LGBTQI+ youth and families feel safe, seen, and supported clearer on our website.

At a time when safety is not consistently protected, being visible in our support is one meaningful way to foster care, connection, and belonging.

For many, safety is something they rarely have to think about. For others, it’s something they carry and navigate every day, and in this current climate, something that is actively being threatened!

We know that safety is at the core of well-being. It’s an inherent human need.

Visibility helps people know where they are safe to be themselves. And the spaces and culture we consciously create, at work, in our homes, and in our communities, shape the safety and well-being of those around us. There is a ripple in this, and a shared responsibility in how we show up.

We’re members of the Safe Space Alliance, a global network helping people identify and create safe spaces. It's free and easy to apply. If you’re a business or organization, you can learn more and register your space here → https://safespacealliance.com/overview/

We’d also love to hear how you’re showing up or making safety more visible in your own spaces. Feel free to share below.

Mindful Listening

The sound of lively birds in the early morning is a sure sign of spring. Being fully present for the dawn chorus is a mindful way to start your day. Find a comfortable spot outdoors or by an open window and welcome the sound and benefits of mindful listening.

Allow your body to settle and to be still. Take 5-10 slow and full breaths. If it feels comfortable, close your eyes.

Spend a few minutes listening to the sounds that birds make. You might start by focusing on the sound closest to you. Notice the length of the sound, does it repeat? How big is the silence between each note. Focus in this way for a few minutes.

When you’re ready, shift your focus to sounds further away, at the very edge of your hearing. Listen deeply, can you hear an individual song? Do the birds appear to be in flight? Is sound coming towards or away from you? Focus in this way for a few minutes.

When you’re ready enter into the space of listening to the sounds furthest and closest to you. Linger here for as long as you’re able. Before ending this mindfulness activity, check in with how you feel in your body and mind.

Captured moments don't always have to happen with a camera. (In fact, some of our most meaningful ones where we are mindful and present may not.)

What could paying attention or paying attention differently look like for you this week?
