Fall In Person 8 Week Foundation Course
Monday September 30th to Monday November 18th, 2024
Foundation courses are for individuals who are new to mindfulness. Or those who would like to refresh their practice. This course is a structured and foundational process of learning mindfulness-based techniques that can be personalized for use in real life situations.
This 8-week course will train you in mindfulness meditation techniques that can help you to:
- Reduce stress
- Increase focus and mental clarity
- Improve communication in relationships
- Enhance quality of life and mood
- Manage difficult situations
All class materials are provided, including homework handouts and audio recordings of guided meditation exercises for use at home.
All registrations are accepted on a "pending approval" basis, and will be reviewed to ensure that the program is a proper fit, if not all money will be refunded promptly.
Each class builds upon the previous week's lesson, so it is important that you plan to attend all eight sessions as well as the all day retreat.
In each class, participants will be taught a mindfulness technique and asked to practice it during the class.
Classes will include discussions led by the instructor as well as some small group and/or one-on-one exercises. Participation in these activities is encouraged (but is not mandatory).
Every participant is asked to make a commitment to practice the techniques learned in class for at least 40 minutes each day and to follow along with weekly homework assignments.
