Meditation and mindfulness are counter-points to the reactivity and frustration that can pervade our daily life. Learning to meditate is an empowering choice to connect to your deeper self and to relate to life and others in a fuller way. Meditation is a gift, a practice, a skill, and an adventure.

In these four classes you will:
• Expand your understanding of current mind/body science and its relevance to meditation & mindfulness practice.
• Clarify your motivation and realistic ways to develop an ongoing meditation practice.
• Learn foundational techniques to increase focus, concentration, and attention.
• Learn foundational techniques for expanding, broadening, and opening awareness.
• Build skills and confidence for working with difficult body/mind states.

All sessions blend practice, process, and teaching and foster a personal and interpersonal learning environment. Each week there will be the invitation to continue a daily micro-practice between sessions. And, as the series is open to new students each week, sessions are designed to accommodate new attendees.
