“Don’t just sit there, do nothing!,” goes the mindfulness saying. But it’s not so easy doing nothing. Come join a master meditation teacher and retreat leader for an introductory mindfulness workshop. Mindfulness is the art of openly and actively paying attention to experience in the present moment, or put otherwise, the art of doing nothing and just listening. This approach has scientific support as a means to reduce stress, improve attention, boost the immune system, reduce emotional reactivity, and promote a general sense of health and wellness. This workshop will engage participants in several experiential practices where they will explore the basics of mindfulness meditation as well as methods to cultivate positive emotions, with special emphasis on stress management.
