We can not always change the world, but we can change how we relate with it.

Mindfulness is the practice of, as best we can, bringing a relaxed, clear attention to each moment of our lives. 

Incredibly, when we relate with ourselves and our life with a mindful attention, we unlock a wealth of benefits. 

research has shown that people who practice mindfulness daily

  • stress less

  • have reduced anxiety and depression

  • improve focus and attention

  • are able to think more clearly and creatively

  • report greater understanding of themselves and connection with others

  • sleep better

  • get sick less

  • experience reduced blood pressure

  • are better able to regulate their emotions

  • ruminate less

  • are able to communicate more effectively

Week 1

Acknowledging what is. What is mindfulness? How does it work? And how does mindfulness help us metabolize and recover from stress, anxiety, and burnout?

We’ll explore all this plus you will learn a mindfulness practice you can use “on the spot” for recognizing and releasing tension within the body.

Week 2

Strength and stability. A body that is stressed, anxious, or disconnected cannot find ease, and cannot fully heal. In this class you will learn the new science of our nervous system — and how an embodied experience of safety promotes healing, calm, and physical ease within the body.

Week 3

Rest and recovery. Healing is a process. Growth is a process. While our lives have sped up, the time it takes for the body to process and metabolize the challenges we experience has not.

In this class you will learn a mindfulness practice that promotes whole body awareness, the metabolism of challenges and tension, and true rest and recovery.

Week 4

A great night’s sleep. We spend one-third of our life — nearly 30 years! — sleeping — and yet for many, a great night’s sleep is hard to come by.

In the final class you will learn how mindfulness can promote getting regular, restful sleep.

Attending this four week series you will learn foundational mindfulness meditation practices that are intended to provide benefit in the near and long term.

This class is excellent for brand new beginners or those with any established meditation practice looking to deepen their understanding and experience.

Recordings of all class teachings and guided mindfulness practices will be provided weekly.
