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
- Resist the tendency to aggravate our 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.
This workshop will include:
- A 17-page PDF workbook with exercises and resources for meeting your anxiety
- Supportive guided meditations
- Mindful journaling practices (please bring a notebook & pen or pencil)
- Small and large group discussion
- Practical tools for difficult anxiety moments in everyday life
