8-Week Mindfulness Foundational Course (Evening Series Begins)
Tuesday, September 24, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This evidence-based program is based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s model. Mindfulness is ‘the awareness that arises from paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally.’ It enables individuals to step out of ‘automatic pilot’ and connect and respond to daily life with increased awareness and self-control. The class format includes instruction and practice of mindfulness skills, mind-body exercises, group dialogue, and daily home assignments. In this program, you will receive the following:
- Eight weekly classes of 2 hours each
- Recordings with guided meditations and stretching practices
- Access to extensive handouts, reading lists, home assignments, resources, etc.
- Participants are encouraged to practice home assignments for 30-40 minutes daily and complete an initial questionnaire and a course evaluation.
This challenging, life-affirming course requires a solid commitment to maximal benefit. Your instructors are committed to and skilled at creating a safe, supportive, and deeply engaging learning environment.
Led by Mindfulness Instructor, Paula Huffman, BS, RN, ERYT
