We are delighted to begin a new online course on mindfulness starting Monday evening August 26, from 7-9pm Eastern time. Based on the teachings of Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, this class is perfect for those wishing to refresh and renew their practice, as well as for someone just beginning their mindfulness journey.
You will need a high-speed internet connection as well as either a laptop or desktop computer to participate in real time. While our zoom platform allows phone connections, because phones do not allow for the level of interaction we practice, they are not acceptable.
Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life, a way of taking charge of your life, a way of doing something for yourself that no one else can do for you--consciously and systematically, working with your own stress, pain, illness, and the challenges and demands of everyday life.
Our focus will be on cultivating self compassion--opening our heart to ourselves. Given the messages we've gotten throughout our lives, this may seem odd at first--is this not being selfish? The answer is a resounding no! If we do not learn to befriend ourselves, we cannot hope to fully relate to others.
Mindfulness can help you:
* reduce daily stress related to work, school, family, illness and aging;
* minimize obsessing on the past;
* create more options for dealing with the present;
* cope with various medical illnesses and condition;
* enhance health and well being
* create a sense of empowerment.
Except for the first session which runs from 7-9pm Eastern Time, these classes will be held from 7-8pm Eastern Time on Monday evenings: 8/26 (7-9pm), 9/2, 16, 10/7, 14, 21,28. Cost is $199.00. Class size is limited so be sure to register today at 215-752-7599. Check out mindfulness our
