Begin a journey to experience greater happiness, health, and presence. Come join me in a series of workshops that provide you with techniques and tools to develop mindfulness in your life.

Week One: The Ingredients of Mindfulness
We will discuss the idea of mindfulness; the ways our minds intrude on our happiness and effect our health; practice breath awareness in a sitting meditation (“just being”); and leave with an initial blueprint to establish our own mindfulness practice at home.
Week Two: Out of Your Mind and Into Your Body
Using your own body as the foundation for meditative exploration, we will connect with our bodies exactly as they are in this moment, practicing acceptance and non-judgment. We will also develop communication with our bodies, uniting mind and body for grounding, wholeness, and serenity.
Week Three: Mindful Movement
Building on our previous practices, we will apply meditative awareness to movement, through combining mindfulness with gentle yoga stretches, further connecting our minds with our bodies. The focus is on awareness of movement and feeling yourself in your body as it moves, understanding and respecting limits while noticing how these limits change.
Week Four: Beyond the Workshop & Into Your Life
The practices we have been learning will not be helpful or beneficial to you if you do not find a way to use the techniques in your “real” life. This last workshop aims to integrate these techniques in a plan that works for you, so you may continue to deepen your experience of mindfulness in your daily life.
