Volume Twenty-One: April Kaiserlian
Dropping Keys is a podcast conversation with real people about keys to life, leadership, love, and whatever else we get into.
My co-conspirator is April Kaiserlian
April Kaiserlian is a psychotherapist in private practice with a focus on creative, contemplative, experiential therapy. She is a collector of the old and the new, the odd and the normal, and she loves to string ideas together in new and creative ways to inspire you on your journey to becoming more fully human.
April is also the co-founder of the Grand Rapids Center for Mindfulness and has been teaching and practicing mindfulness and self-compassion for over 12 years. April teaches from a place of humor and grace. She offers her wisdom from her own real-life, field-testing of each and every practice. Always doing something creative, she has launched one newsletter aptly titled - Colorful Insights – because to know April is to know her use of color in nearly every aspect of her life. She has another newsletter on the way which will be titled, Experiments in Emotional Wisdom. She is a firm believer that any wellness practice you do has to meet you in the struggles of your everyday life and she always has a story on hand to make her point!
April completed her professional mindfulness training and supervision under the direction of the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, as well as professional training with the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. She is a licensed social worker and received her graduate degree from Grand Valley State University. She has also completed an 18-month certificate program in mindfulness-based psychotherapy with the Hakomi Institute. She is currently participating in monthly mentoring sessions with meditation teacher and author, Ethan Nichtern, and is always happy to be reading, learning, and growing.
In this volume:
the generosity of suffering,
ugly relaxing,
tenderness,
and
being a recovering drama queen.
