An Evening of Mindfulness

In person in Bellingham

1-hour free workshop

Curious about how to bring mindfulness into your life? Start here! Expect a one-hour interactive presentation introducing you to the principles of mindfulness and teaching some basic practices. You’ll leave with a handout and a tool kit of simple practices to use at work and home.

This participatory, practical introductory class includes:

Definitions of mindfulness
A helpful handout summarizing the benefits and applications of mindfulness in everyday life
Guided body and breath awareness practices
Group dialogue and small group discussion
Suggestions on resources for ongoing practice and how to apply mindfulness at work and home

Based on the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. MBSR has been shown to reduce chronic pain and boost the immune system; address painful mental states like depression and anxiety; minimize emotional reactivity and promote well-being; increase flexible attention and sharpen mental focus.

Thank you so much for the wisdom and insight. The information shared during our brief class at Village Books last week is proving to be most helpful for my personal journey. I am indeed grateful.
