SUMMER 4-WK MBSR COURSE
MINDFULNESS-BASED
STRESS REDUCTION
FRIs., 10:30 - 12:30 am
JUNE 14 - JULY 12, 2024

This will be the short 4-wk SUMMER offering for those who wish to refresh or begin their daily mindfulness practice.

This usually rigorous course which requires a 15-30 minute daily commitment to mindfulness practices and self-inquiry will be offered both in-person and on-line. We begin with simple mindfulness practices such as bringing a kind attention to our own body sensations and breath through the body scan practice. We expand our focus to include awareness during ordinary daily activities including moving, eating and interacting. Following brief audio-guided meditation instruction each day and doing what the course asks you to do, you will recognize a significant increase in your overall health and well-being.

Practicing mindfulness on a regular basis brings ease and well-being to our own minds and bodies and contributes not only to your own happiness and ease but to that of others.

UPCOMING
MINDFUL ALL-DAY
SATURDAY
JULY, 2024—TBD
9:00am - 4:30pm
This 1-day guided LIVE OUTDOOR retreat is designed to cultivate a deepened inquiry into the mindfulness practice, path and way of being. The day-long retreat will be held in NOBLE SILENCE.
Guided practices will be offered by Diana
from 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM.

The growth and development of your mindfulness occurs through the continued deepening and sustaining of longer practice periods.  Sustaining practice for one or more days in extended practice periods shifts our attention and awareness inward to assist in accessing more continuous stillness and silence.  Retreat practice is time out from your daily responsibilities, allowing for a rich and beneficial opportunity for practice and its benefits.

Mindfulness graduates and friends are welcome to attend from 9:00am – 4:30 pm (Half day options also available upon registration).
$60.00 for the full-day or $40.00 for the half-day is requested to cover the costs OF THE RETREAT FEE COST.
Dana or generosity offerings for the teachings and the teacher are gratefully accepted and always appreciated.  THERE WILL BE A DANA BOX AVAILABLE AT ALL RETREAT EVENTS.
Thank you always for your kindness and generosity!
