VGP's Wellness Series - Meditation as a State of Being: Embrace Presence, Not Practice

VGP is thrilled to introduce new voices and unique perspectives to help you explore more ways to improve your personal health and wellness, brought to you by Zoetis. On August 15th, join us as Dr. Kelly Tobin presents Mediation as a State of Being.

In this transformative session, Dr. Tobin will guide you to shift your perspective on meditation from something you do to a state you live. Often seen as a structured practice, meditation is actually a way of being—one that invites you to experience true presence and stillness in every moment of your life. Drawing on the powerful teachings of horses, known for their innate ability to stay present and deeply attuned to their environment, you’ll learn to quiet the mind, center yourself, and tap into a natural state of alignment.

Through simple, practical tools, you’ll integrate this way of being into your daily routine, moving beyond the pressure of “doing it right” and into the ease of being fully present, releasing the belief that self-care is just another item to add to your to-do list.

By the end of this session, you'll have a unique, sustainable approach to meditation that goes beyond the traditional practice, helping you thrive in your high-stress environment without adding more to your already full plate.

The session will conclude with a guided meditation leaving you feeling recharged and better equipped to care for yourself, your patients, and your practice.

The recording will be made available for all VGP members to watch on our learning platform, EdQuest. This program is exclusively available for VGP members (VGP and VGP Elite members) at no cost.

About Dr. Kelly Tobin:

Dr. Kelly Tobin is the founder of Authentically U, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals to live with authenticity and purpose. With a Ph.D. in Metaphysical Psychology, Dr. Tobin is also a certified Equine Facilitated Wellness Professional and Therapeutic Sound Practitioner.

Her transformative journey with horses began through her daughter’s passion for riding, during a time when she was experiencing burnout and significant health challenges. What started as a personal connection evolved into a powerful source of healing, with horses becoming her greatest teachers. 

The teachings from horses form the foundational baseline of her work, offering invaluable lessons in presence, authenticity, and alignment. Horses, with their keen sensitivity and natural ability to stay grounded in the present moment, provide profound insights into mind-body alignment and emotional awareness. 

With a deep commitment to helping professionals break free from the cycle of burnout, Dr. Tobin offers practical tools to navigate the emotional and physical challenges of high-stress environments. Her approach shifts the focus from self-care to authentic alignment, recognizing that this transformation is not a luxury, but a crucial foundation for sustainable success and well-being.
