Featured Guest: Jennifer Howd

Hi! My name is Jennifer. I'm an Author, a Developmental Editor, and a UCLA-Certified Mindfulness Facilitator.
I see your potential (even when you can't). I believe in you (even when you don't). I'm insatiably curious, and I like to ask questions—especially the big ones. Sunshine makes me happy. So does my family. I'm both a cat person AND a dog person. Hot pink is (obviously) my favorite color. I enjoy: writing, acting, drawing, making music, meditating, collaborating (and eating dark chocolate). And I spend a lot of time contemplating unquestioned answers.Â

| 0:09.3 | Hello there, this is Kimberly Wilson, and welcome to the 411th edition of Tranquility |
| 0:16.0 | DeJure. Today we're chatting meditation retreats with returning guest Jennifer Howd. In this week's edition, we're talking meditation retreats with returning guest Jennifer Houd. |
| 0:23.8 | In this week's edition, we chat about silent meditation retreats. |
| 0:28.4 | Basically, what you need to bring to a group retreat, what to expect, how to set up your own retreat at home, and why retreats serve as a metaphysical |
| 0:41.4 | tune-up. |
| 0:43.3 | So before we hear from Jennifer, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who responded to |
| 0:48.5 | my request last week for input on what you would like to see created and put out in 2018. It's funny because I was sitting |
| 0:57.1 | down kind of working on what I was planning to put forward. And I thought, you know what? I should |
| 1:02.6 | maybe ask people what they want, what they need, what would most serve them and be most |
| 1:07.0 | beneficial. Because the funny thing is, is if I think back to businesses I've created or books |

| 1:17.8 | that I need the most kind of at that moment, like reminder to slow down or, you know, tranquilology, |
| 1:26.6 | a DIY guide to everyday tranquility. So like researching, |
| 1:30.2 | how do I get more tranquility in my every day? And so that was kind of the idea of what I want |
| 1:35.2 | to bring forth in 2018. And it was funny, some of you, your responses were like exactly |
| 1:41.0 | what I was planning to do. So I love it. And some of them are additional ideas of |
| 1:47.5 | things that I want to weave in and incorporate. So stay tuned. I did a blog post today, |
| 1:51.5 | just kind of giving a little bit of insight into what's to come. And you'll see a revelation over |
| 1:57.6 | the next week or two as we get everything pulled together. And I'm really, |
| 2:01.5 | really excited about this. I feel like I haven't done kind of like this ongoing sort of experience, |
