The number of mindfulness groups for lawyers in the US has grown to six. I know about those in Denver (I was one of its founders), Washington DC, Portland, New York City, and the San Francisco Bay Area; and am happy to read on Jane Faulkner's blog that one has just begun in Seattle.
Details about the Seattle group from the Washington State Bar Web page:
Interested in Mindful Lawyering?
This monthly group explores ways in which mindfulness practices may lead to more effective delivery of quality legal services, increased professionalism and lawyer wellbeing and health. The group will be meeting on the last Wednesday of each month, beginning March 30. Meeting will be in the LAP group room from 8:15 until 9:00 a.m. and there is no charge. For more information, contact Sevilla Rhoads at [email protected]. ...
If you know of other mindful lawyer groups, please let me know so I can mention them here.
