Complete Mindfulness Meditation for Beginners

Mindfulness Meditation is simple in essence but subtle. To be successful at it, most people benefit more by participating in a weekly class with the personal attention of a live instructor.

This course is thoughtfully designed to introduce you step by step to learning about mindfulness as well as doing it. You’ll learn fundamental meditation techniques including the body scan, mindfulness of breathing, walking meditation and more. 

By gently training your mind and body in peace and simplicity, you’ll come to experience the benefits of greater relaxation, lower stress, increased clarity and general well-being.

Topics include:

• Understanding what meditation is and how it works
• The Scientific Research into its Benefits
• How and why to establish a daily practice
• How to relax mind and body
• Training in attention and awareness
• Mindfulness of Breathing and sense perceptions
• Taming your busy mind
• Common challenges and remedies
• Mindfulness in daily life

Each weekly meeting includes guided meditation, talks, and discussion. The class format is set up to provide opportunity for personal guidance and for sharing experiences with others in the class. If you’re relatively new to meditation, this is an excellent place to start.

The Package Option: Combine the 8 week course with a mindfulness mini-retreat “Finding Calm in the Chaos” on Sunday November 7^th. In the mini-retreat you will spend the morning being guided through a series of mindfulness meditations. This is one of the very best ways to review and integrate what you have learned in classes.
