Meet Nicole Olson Author of "A Pair of Sparkly Sneakers": A Mother's Journey to Inner Wisdom    

Nicole writes in her book about learning to trust her own inner knowing to lead her on a powerful journey as a parent.

Before becoming a mom in 2003, Nicole was an elementary school teacher.  She held dual certifications in regular and special education, and taught for ten years in a variety of capacities and grade levels.

Riddled with the insecurities of new motherhood, Nicole believes far more deeply in the advice of authorities than in her own instincts. Expert opinion dictates her every move. But as her son's world begins to fall apart, that unswerving allegiance ultimately leaves her with more questions than answers. With each new expert and expertly designed program her little boy seems to be slipping further away. Near the breaking point and verging on desperate, can Nicole finally find the courage to listen to the two voices that have mattered most all along? Poignant, honest, and heart-breakingly humorous, A Pair of Sparkly Sneakers calls into question the widespread cultural practices that methodically disconnect parents from their children, and explores the dangers of abandoning our own inner wisdom in favor of child experts and authorities.

MEDITATION with ROBIN SANDOMIRSKY HART

After the book signing, you are encouraged to stay to enjoy an hour of developing your own ability to do the same.

Quiet the nagging doubts and inner critics and learn to tune into your own intuition and higher knowing to guide you as a parent, or in any other important relationship in your life.

Robin, a homeschooling mother of two children, waldorf inspired early education assistant teacher, yoga instructor and intuitive healer will guide you through a brief movement, breathing and meditation practice and hold the space for questions and further discussion.
