Class Overview
If you’re curious about learning how to meditate and begin an on-going, personal mindfulness practice, come join this experiential educational class. The group meets once per week for 4 weeks for 1.5 hours. Each class will offer teacher-lead meditation such as awareness of breathing, body scan, eating and walking meditation. Informal practices will be offered to bring a more wakeful presence into your day-to-day life that doesn't take more time. We will also explore didactic content around stress reactivity, how to respond to difficulty more wisely, learning about the states of our nervous systems, the neuroscience of mindfulness, and more. Daily home practice assignments will is strongly recommended to receive full benefit. We will sometimes use a free meditation app called Insight Timer, which will require you to download to your smartphone, although not required. Participants must have a smart phone to have access to this app. It is strongly encouraged that participants spend anywhere from 5-20 minutes per day practicing formal meditation on the 6 days in between our live meetings.
