-Awareness of emotions and thoughts

-Compassion for self and others

-Practical applications of mindfulness in daily life, relationships, and society. 

 

Since mindfulness is a skill that is developed through regular practice, participants are strongly encouraged to have a mindfulness meditation practice. That way, discussion can be enriched by your practice – instead of just talking about concepts, which is not what mindfulness is about. Hopefully the reading selections also can be motivating for your practice! Facilitator Susan Meyer is an experienced and credentialed mindfulness meditation teacher who offers a Tuesday evening guided meditation session every week through the library.
