Study Group Details
831: Mastering Skills of Mindfulness Meditation
Wednesday9:45 - 11:15
Starting March 04
Online
In this study group, you will learn skills to rewire your brain to help make you a happier and more compassionate person. Mindfulness enhances our capacity for managing anxiety, stress, intense emotions, uncertainty, and increases our capacity to experience deep fulfillment. We will practice techniques that we have learned from Shinzen Young to use both in sitting meditation practice and in ordinary life. Sessions will include instruction, guided meditations, and group discussion. No reading is required, but class members should plan to practice meditation on their own for at least 10 minutes most days. This study group is appropriate for both beginners and experienced meditators and those who have taken this class before.
