This virtual series focuses on the practical application of mindfulness techniques. Much has been written about mindfulness and it’s benefits but often there is a lack of clarity about how it can make a difference in your daily personal and professional life.
In this three part series, we will explore mindfulness by practicing specific techniques that can be immediately incorporated into your daily life. We will discuss specific practices to address stress and to live more fully in the present moment.
Participants with no prior mindfulness experience are welcome, as are those practitioners who enjoy the practice in a community setting. These introductory sessions will be nonsequential, so participants may attend one or multiple sessions. The techniques will be presented in a manner that a new participant can follow easily but will allow those who have taken the earlier sessions to practice at a more advanced level.
At the end of each session, the instructor will remain online to discuss any questions or to provide more in-depth explanations.
