The Lotus-Law Latte series is a series of talks touching on topics of mindfulness. Chats I would have with my friends over a latte. Episode 1 talks about generosity and what it means to be kind and compassionate. When you do things out of pure goodness and without conditions attached, the rewards return and flow back to you in so many wonderful ways.

Reviews & Testimonials

"This course was the anchor I much needed to get back to critical self-care, without which I cannot well serve my clients or family. Nicolle’s mindfulness training provides busy lawyers with a plethora of brilliant, easy to implement and sanity saving tools, and she presents it all with vulnerability, grace and compassion that is a delight to experience.

I am so grateful for this invaluable work that Nicolle is doing for us as individuals and for the profession at large."

”I recommend Nicolle’s mindfulness course to all lawyers who are challenged by life’s stresses, both at work and outside of work. Nicolle is very knowledgeable about mindfulness and has a genuine passion for the material she teaches. As a regular yoga practitioner and teacher, I started the course with some understanding of mindfulness.

I realized early in the course that I have so much more to learn. Nicolle provided practical and interactive examples of ways that we can integrate mindfulness into our day and provided us with tools to apply. I am using the tools regularly, professionally, and personally, and they are helping me to remain calm, cool, and collected in some very difficult and emotional situations.”

”I am a lawyer who lives a fast-paced life. I have never particularly enjoyed meditation of any kind. Nicolle has brought me on a journey of self-discovery where I now enjoy mindfulness meditations (but only if lead by her).

Her calm, yet active and playful personality appeals to me on a personal level. I would strongly encourage anyone considering a mindfulness practice to reach out to Nicolle Kopping-Pavars.”

”Nicolle offers us a better way and an alternate set of choices – encouraging each of us to observe what is going on in the present moment which leads to better decision making and self-awareness. To paying attention to our attention and noticing when our mind has wandered from, we should be doing.

Nicolle has made it her life’s work to help us understand how mindfulness protects us, helps us anticipate and understand what is happening in the moment and to remind us that mindfulness is the opposite of taking our ‘one-and-only life’ for granted…” .

”Nicolle’s devotion to the practice is apparent in her dedication and passion to the dharma. She embraces the studies wholeheartedly.

Over the course of the program, I watched her grow stronger and more dedicated to teaching her colleagues, the judiciary, and others. Now, she inspires me as she continues to bring these practices to practitioners all over the world. If you have the chance, treat yourself to some time with Nicolle. You won’t regret it! “

”I was a core teacher in the 2016 Mindfulness in Law Teacher Training, held at Green Gulch Zen Center in California. Nicolle was one of 20 attendees, and I was able to get to know her and her deep commitment to bringing mindfulness and compassion training to every facet of the law, and to see her excellent presentation skills.

I highly recommend Nicolle as a presenter, as a teacher, as a mentor, and as a person. “

”I have done meditations with Nicolle Kopping-Pavars for several years with great enjoyment. It was not until taking her Mindfulness Course that I came to truly understand how the journey that she led towards mindfulness brings about a keen self-awareness/discovery, an innate ability to be truly present and a noticeable reduction in stress in my practise and day to day life.

Throughout this course, I have felt a significant shift in how I connect to each moment and with Nicolle’s guidance and wisdom, I am on the road to peace. I am eternally grateful to Nicolle for her teaching and leadership and for helping me incorporate mindfulness into my life. “
