Different Minds, Shared Presence: Mindfulness & Neurodiversity
Online with Catherine Franssen, PhD
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 10:30AM-Noon (US Eastern)
By Donation: Suggested range: $30-$40

NOTE: This program will not be recorded.

This workshop invites all who are curious about the relationship between mindfulness and neurodiversity to join in a rich, compassionate exploration.

Whether you identify as neurodivergent, wonder if you might, or support others who do, this session is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect. Together we’ll explore what it means to be “neurodiverse”; how differences in attention, perception, and sensory experience can influence one’s practice; and how mindfulness can be adapted to honor those differences rather than suppress them.

We’ll look at the neuroscience of diverse minds, common neurotypes like ADHD and autism, and how mindfulness can be both a support and a challenge. Most importantly, we’ll investigate how to practice in a way that is affirming, authentic, and inclusive—whatever your wiring.

There will be time for learning, quiet reflection, and open-hearted Q&A. Come as you are.
