Mindfulness And Meditation For Well-being

Most of us live our lives going from task to task without recognizing the impact of our thoughts and emotions on everything we do. Our attitudes and behaviors impact our work, our interaction with clients and colleagues and our home life. In this course, you will have the opportunity to explore your own attitudes, mental habits and behaviors. You will learn hands-on practice and participate in guided meditations and interactive discussions on the topics we’ll be covering including mindfulness of emotions and feelings, working with our thoughts and beliefs and loving kindness and compassion. The course opens the door to more effectively dealing with life’s challenges, building resiliency and inviting ease into everyday life. 

The course meets once a week for 1 hour for 4 weeks. We ask that you make a commitment, to the extent possible, to be at all 4 sessions.
