Free Programming - Remote
A Series of Mindfulness - (1:30 PM)

As Jon Kabat-Zinn observes, mindfulness is a way of being in wise relationship to our lived experience, as we become more aware of what is arising moment-to-moment.  In the next session in A Series on Mindfulness with Neil Motenko, via Zoom, we will discuss the how self-awareness, coupled with self-compassion, can help us cultivate clarity and wisdom about ourselves and the human condition, make choices born of awareness, and enhance our sense of well-being. The session will be interactive, include guided practices, and review how we can integrate practice into our daily lives.  Although this is part of a series, each session stands on its own, and newcomers are welcome at any time.
