Workshops, Talks, Retreats
I am currently teaching group mindfulness classes through UMass Memorial Health Center for Mindfulness. Please click here for more info and to register. Please see below if you’re considering a custom offering.
I work with educators, medical professionals and others to introduce evidence-based practices which can reduce stress, enhance resiliency, and improve communication.
Offerings range from a 1-hour talk to a 7-day retreat.
Compassion fatigue and burnout are commonplace. Mindfulness based practices are an effective antidote.
I am also very passionate about the natural world and cultivating a healthy, respectful, reciprocal relationship with nature and with our non-human kin.
Contemplative practices can help remind of our deep connection to all other beings.
Let’s talk to see what the specific needs of your organization are and how I can help.
Topics for conferences:
➡ A Council of All Beings ceremony
➡ Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
➡ These Times are Urgent, We Must Slow Down (shoutout to elder, visionary Dr. Bayo Akomolafe for this concept)
➡ A Mindfulness Lounge that participants can drop into for a quick centering in the midst of a busy conference
“I have done individual coaching with Erin, online workshops and a weeklong retreat. She has helped me to use mindfulness as a tool to not only relieve stress but also to find more joy in my life. She has taught me many tools to use in managing my life as a wife and mother of 3.
Her coaching and workshops are invaluable to busy professionals as we experience unprecedented levels of frustration and burnout. Please consider signing up for one of her workshops. She will change your life.”

“I am so glad I met Erin. I learned so much in just 1 session!
My students love the meditation and I know they will benefit greatly from these stress coping strategies.
We need more like her in the world!”

“Erin Sharaf’s “Mindfulness: the Power of Pausing” was new content for us. The session was packed and evaluated as one of our top sessions.
She was an excellent presenter and her presentation was engaging and powerful. I highly recommend her. Teachers loved her and asked that we invite her back to present.”
