Anger Management CLE for Lawyers in Pennsylvania

On July 16th at 10 AM, I will be offering a virtual CLE for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute on anger management for lawyers. Mindfulness is a powerful tool that can help lawyers manage and care for our emotions. Anger is no exception.

As I have written before, mindfulness practices can help lawyers and others to understand and navigate anger better. This is an essential skill for lawyers who frequently encounter anger, in themselves and others, in our cases.

This webinar is available virtually through the Pennsylvania Bar Institute but CLE credit may be available in other states as well. You can register or watch on-demand here after July 16th.

Mindfulness in Law Society Retreat and Conference

The following week, I am flying out to San Francisco to hang out with some of my friends at the Mindfulness in Law Society. I will be speaking at and attending the 2025 Mindfulness in Law Society Conference and Retreat in San Francisco.

This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in and build community with other lawyers who practice mindfulness. The first day will include a conference and CLE presentations at the University of San Francisco. I will be participating in a panel discussion during the conference regarding mindfulness in law practice.

The second day will include a retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Spirit Rock is a beautiful facility founded by some of the most well-known meditation teachers in the United States. This day will be an opportunity to practice mindfulness with other lawyers in community.

To participate, register for both the conference and retreat separately at the links provided above.

This Will Be a Great Summer for Mindfulness in Law

I hope to see you or maybe even meet you at these events. If you cannot attend, the MILS Virtual Sits happen twice a week and are another great option for lawyers and others in the legal profession. Keep checking my events page for more opportunities to practice and learn about mindfulness.
