Introduction to Mindfulness
In this six-week foundations course we will engage in evidence-based practices to learn how to incorporate mindfulness into our daily lives through formal and informal mindfulness practice. This class is for beginners and those wishing to renew or deepen their practice in community. Each 75-minute class will include an introduction to specific mindfulness practices, a period of guided meditation, group discussion, and opportunities to ask questions. Students will receive supporting materials to develop a mindfulness practice including audio guidance for practice at home. Follow up emails with resources to support practice will also be sent on a weekly basis. Through this series we will explore ways to embody mindfulness while bringing presence, clarity and wisdom to our moment-by-moment experience in our daily lives.
