We often try to think our way out of anxiety, but how well does that seem to work?
Fortunately, mindfulness can be a big help.
In this workshop, we’ll build a safe classroom learning community to explore ways that mindfulness can help to:
- Reduce baseline levels of anxiety
- Recover from anxiety-provoking events
- Overome the tendency to aggravate anxiety with ruminative thinking
- Explore ways of meeting anxiety with patience, curiosity and acceptance
Look forward to thoughtful framing around how to live with anxiety more kindly and wisely. We’ll explore and discuss mindfulness exercises for grounding, self-kindness, directing attention more wisely, and cultivating an open and curious approach to the doings of the mind. You’ll leave with a deeper toolkit of approaches to the anxious mind.

About the Instructor
Beth Glosten, M.D.
Beth attended the University of Washington School of Medicine and had an academic anesthesiology career until physical issues prompted her to step back from her career. She studied pilates, and through this system embraced moving mindfully. She was drawn to meditation several years ago and found it meshed naturally with her approach to teaching movement: turn focus inward to listen to, and befriend, one’s self. From this place, growth and healing are possible.
