Mindfulness is a way to access your inner resources and move towards greater balance and peace of mind. This program consists of 7 weeks of classes meeting once a week during the lunch hour. The program is designed to give you practical coping skills to deal with everyday stress.
Mindfulness-The Basics is the first half of the Mind Body Stress Reduction Series where we gain mindfulness skills of holding our attention in the present moment with kindness and learning to let go of judging and striving as we explore and experience the body-centered practice of Mindfulness.
