Mindfulness is a buzzword these days. But what is it, really?

In this four-week course (3/7, 3/14, 3/21, 3/28), you will experience the transformative power of mindful awareness, learn valuable mindfulness skills and tools, and develop a regular meditation practice that works for you. We will explore the basics and benefits of mindfulness and the importance of integrating lovingkindness and compassion (including self-compassion) in mindfulness practice. Together, we will practice mindfulness of breath, body, feelings, and thoughts. You’ll learn strategies to awaken to mindfulness and compassion when you’re in the thick of difficulty and dramatically shift the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.

Each class will include instruction, a guided practice exercise, and Q&A. Please be aware that the classes are not stand-alone sessions. Each weekly class builds on the content covered previously.
