Unlearning Internalized Misogyny Through Mindfulness
Studies show that internalized misogyny damages women's self worth and leaves us feeling hollowed out, insecure, unsure of what we want, and believing we’re not enough. These oppressive beliefs lead to chronic stress, self doubt, anxiety and depression. Learning to free ourselves from internalized misogyny is a gradual ongoing practice, and unlearning this is part of feminism's unfinished work as we continue evolving towards gender equality.
In this live online zoom webinar for women, we'll explore how our minds are conditioned by patriarchy to disempower ourselves, and how we can apply mindfulness principles and practice to gain freedom and trust in our authentic and wise self.
What We’ll Do in the Webinar:
Through brief lectures, guided meditation, reflections and discussions we’ll name the oppressive beliefs and behaviors we carry and learn how to employ mindfulness to release and unlearn them.
What You'll Take Away:
Simple practices to carry with you, to help you feel grounded and at home in your authentic self. Tools to cultivate a deeper trust in your own experience, and more ease in how you relate to yourself and others.
Who This Is For:
Open to Women. No prior meditation experience is required. This workshop welcomes all levels of experience.
ONLINE WEBINAR held live over Zoom. Link will be sent after registration.

Mindfulness for Clinicians: An 8-week Intensive Course
UW-Madison - UW Madison Continuing Studies
April 1 - May 20, 2027, 9:00—11:00am CT
This 8-week intensive course is for clinicians who want to incorporate mindfulness into their own lives to be more present, effective, and stable in their work, and to develop more confidence in applying mindfulness principles and tools with their patients (clients, students, staff). The course is appropriate for experienced practitioners as well as those with no experience in mindfulness or meditation.
We learn a specific aspect of mindfulness each week. By the end of the 8 sessions you will have a clear understanding of the core components of mindfulness. Each class includes short teachings, experiential practice, and discussion. We will practice being present, curious, kind and accepting of ourselves and each other, as we learn this tool, and the atmosphere of the class will be relaxed and open. Between class, assignments will include daily meditation practices, journaling, and specific informal ways to apply mindfulness in your life and your work.

NEW: Teacher Training for Unlearning internalized Misogyny for Women
If you’ve experienced the benefits of practicing mindfulness to help free your mind from those habits of internalized misogyny and are eager to teach other women and girls how to find this freedom then please consider being a part of the first cohort for learning to teach this to others. We are in the development process of creating this training program and hope to implement the first cohort in 2025. If you’re interested, please email Mare (mare@marechapman.com) and get connected to all the details of this exciting project.
This book is like having a mindfulness teacher at your side. It is informative and insightful—chock-full of techniques, meditations, and reflections that guide you to the self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-confidence needed to be your authentic self. These are essential tools for all women.
Every so often a book comes along that has the potential to change your life…Unshakeable Confidence reflects the author’s profound understanding of the roots of women’s suffering and provides a wise and practical guide to rediscovering self-love. A pure gem of a book!
Good medicine for tending the heart and uplifting the spirit.
With kind expertise, Mare Chapman teaches mindfulness with an eye toward gender equity, guiding the reader toward more ease, empowerment and freedom. This special book is so needed for women, especially at this time!
Like Brené Brown, Mare Chapman offers inspiring insights on freeing the real ‘you’ who lives deep inside. Her wise words and exercises will give you the strength and courage to become your authentic self, no matter what life has thrown at you. Brilliant!
Unshakeable Confidence illuminates the cultural conditioning that adversely affects nearly all women—in body, mind, and spirit. Its reframing of codependence, learned helplessness, and relationship addiction as “othering” is groundbreaking. And, most importantly, it gives all of us precise instructions for how to come back home to our essential, healthy, confident selves. Every woman needs to know and practice what’s in these pages.
Highly recommended for any woman who feels stuck with insecurity.
