MettaPets Veterinarian Wellness Network
MettaPets Veterinarian Wellness Network offers Wellness MasterClass Trainings and other Wellness Events, by Veterinarians for Veterinarians, in a Veterinarian-exclusive Community.
MettaPets Veterinarian Wellness Network is a community of veterinarians looking to share and receive positive heart-centered support to empower ourselves to create greater emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being so that we can experience greater life and career satisfaction. Here we acknowledge the important interaction and interdependence of our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness in experiencing wholeness, authenticity, deep healing, happiness and personal thriving. Our spiritual "Self" is beyond any religion, creed or belief and informs our experience of life. When we bring these four aspects of "Self" into harmony, our efforts to optimize our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellness will realize their full potential.
I've built MettaPets Veterinarian Wellness Network to bring together veterinarians who are seeking to improve their well-being and are interested in/curious about spiritual development to engage in a journey of Self-discovery and Self-mastery based on empowering and time-tested principles from ancient yogic traditions, buddhist mind training techniques, ancient mystery school perspectives and modern psychology research in a supportive community of compassionate peers so that we can develop life-skills for creating greater happiness in our lives, make better decisions for our wellness, experience greater self-acceptance, improve our sense of self-worth and purpose, contribute in positive ways to the health of our profession and, together, create a thriving personal and professional life.
If you are a veterinarian who is interested in creating positive connections with a diverse community of veterinary professionals who embody a variety of views about life and healing, who is open to new ways of thinking about life and the world, who values the acknowledgement of spiritual and soul development as part of a comprehensive path to "whole-self wellness" and who is dedicated to treating others with unwavering respect, consideration and kindness in order to create a supportive community for healing, improved well-being and thriving by exploring tools such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga, eastern philosophy, buddhist mind-training techniques and mind-body-spirit integration practices, this is your place!
