This course is an introduction to the concepts and techniques of mindfulness meditation. We will explore the nature of awareness, learn the benefits of meditation, and apply a variety of mediation techniques. Each class will consist of a short talk, one or more guided meditations, and time for questions and reflections.
Three classes, each class 1 hour and 15 minutes in length. While it is encouraged to attend all three classes, each class is taught as an independent unit so previous attendance is not necessary (drop-ins are welcome). Please bring meditation cushion or we will have blankets and bolsters available for use.
