Join us for weekly mindfulness meditations. All are welcome, regardless of experience level.
About this Event

Beginning on September 18th, sessions will take place in the A-Frame Theater at the Glorya Kaufman Center (10858 Culver Blvd.) directly next to the Museum. Please check in at the side gate of the Wende Museum campus, closest to the Kaufman Center– this entrance is off of the City parking lot on Culver Blvd. (not on Coombs Ave. like the front doors of the Museum).

Join us for our new weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful garden of the Wende Museum.

You do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows.

What is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful.

We practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind, challenging emotions, and even physical pain. We can access peace, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time.
