Workshop | A Day of Mindfulness


There will be an emphasis on mindfulness (a focus on now) with some interest in meditation (a focus on breath.) Mindfulness meditation opens a door to greater appreciation of life in the moment. The day will include 20 minute periods for practicing breath meditation, walking meditation, learning to focus on the present through the body, mindfulness of sound, and many other aspects of mindfulness. The emphasis is on learning to be present for two really different reasons. One, in order to experience life more richly. And two, because when we’re focused on the present a miracle occurs: we can’t ruminate about the past or worry about the future. All will be explained so that the beginner is comfortable. Experienced meditators will also be interested, because this mindfulness-based approach to meditation has a strong emphasis on developing self-compassion through the quality with which we relate to ourselves as we encounter imperfection.
