NOTE: This class is a repeat of the popular course offered in the Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 semesters.

During these challenging times, are you experiencing unsettling emotions that make it hard to find peace and ease? Does your mind dwell too often on how things were in the past or worry about what might happen in the future? Do you long to calm your restless mind and stay more grounded in the present moment?

In this class, we will explore together a variety of mindfulness practices, such as mindful eating and sitting and walking meditation, in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. These help us stop so we can be more present to life as it unfolds in and around us. They offer us a pathway for healing and transformation. Our weekly home practices will help us explore them further and keep a journal of our experiences. In class discussions, we will reflect together on ways to calm our restless minds.

Format: The coordinator will introduce mindfulness practices and relevant readings, followed by direct experience and discussion. This is a Zoom video conferencing class.

Resources/Expenses: There are no additional expenses or resources required. Various resources will be recommended for those wishing to learn more.

Over the past 15 years, she has shared mindfulness practices with those who want to live a more conscious life.
