Little Faith Podcast

Join 9 year-old Julia as she leads you and your littles through a mindful listening practice.

You all are in for a treat - This week we start a series we're calling Mindful Advent. Whether you practice Advent or not, we're all in a time of waiting during December. Waiting for Christmas, waiting for the new year, waiting (a long time) for spring. This week, my daughter, 9 year-old Julia is joining me to talk about mindfulness and how it has helped her and how it be a gift during times of waiting.  Following this episode, there will be four mindfulness practices Julia will be leading us though - they are designed for your children to use them, or to use them as a family.   To stay in the know about Little Faith over the break, head to Patreon
