And more than that, it offers a way of being present to our lives so that we don't miss out on the beauty and joy that is also there.

Much of each class is devoted to experiential learning--various mindfulness practices are introduced over the course of the 8 weeks: guided sitting and walking meditation gentle yoga body scan Qigong. In addition to the experiential learning, each class will also have material presented on a variety of topics including perception, stress and our habitual reactions, positive neuroplasticity, working with difficult thoughts and emotions, and communication.
