TEACHERS
Meet the inspiring women teaching
at the NINE Retreat Lake Tahoe 2019


Dianne Jones
Mindful Self Compassion
This class is inspired by Dianne’s book Stop Breathe Believe®: a simple yet powerful practice that can help us stop the stream of thoughts flowing through our minds and become aware of the one unhealthy thought that needs replacing, breathe our way to a state of calm openness, and move forward with the help of a compassionate belief statement that brings release from the unhealthy thought that’s hindering us.
Stop Breathe Believe can help you become healthier in your thinking, more intentional in your thoughts and behaviors, more aware of your feelings, and thus more mindful of the beauty of the present moment. You don’t have to live at the mercy of negative thinking. You can begin saying yes to healthy, life-affirming thoughts and no to destructive, self-defeating thoughts this very day.
Small Class: A Daring Way™ - work of Dr. Brené Brown - developing shame resilience skills and a courage practice of wholehearted living.
Dianne Morris Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator-Consultant (CDWF-C) practicing at Family Legacy Counseling in Des Moines, Iowa. Dianne is the author of Stop Breathe Believe, Mindful Living One Thought at a Time and I’m Fine, A Real Feelings Journal.
