What is each class like?
Each workshop highlights an area of mindfulness practice, including:
-
attention, intention, and attitude
-
presence, non-striving, and acceptance
-
awareness of body and mind
We use physical movement, attention exercises, practical learning exercises, group discussions, practice recommendations, reference materials, and optional between-session 'homework' exercises. Together, these provide an experiential learning experience designed to help you explore and develop your mindfulness practice.
Our 8 weekly sessions are all in a live online video meeting format, with a limited number of participants to allow people the chance to get to know one another. Sessions are live and not recorded or shared.
