Introduction to Mindfulness

About this course:

Mindfulness training allows us to cultivate our natural capacity for greeting life with a wise and open heart, enhancing our ability to live with more joy, purpose, and satisfaction. With mindfulness, it’s easier to deal with life’s challenges and surprises with less fear, anger, and disappointment. Integrating Buddhist and Western approaches with current science, we are introduced to methods for calming the inner storms of thoughts and emotions. Paradoxically, by learning how to remain curious and emotionally open to all our experiences, positive and negative, our mind and body can quiet. This supports states of clarity, deeper awareness of our authentic core and creative choices, and possibilities in our life. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
