HOW TO BE GOOD AT BEING FULLY HUMAN
Intro To Mindfulness
This life-changing set of courses covers the basic principles of mindfulness as a practice for real life. Using principles from psychology, neuroscience, fine art, and mindfulness, you will develop a skillset for navigating life’s daily and deep challenges. Learn how the brain works, and the tools to navigate thoughts and emotions. We cover basic breathwork, meditation, and mindful perspective to approach common human experiences like stress, fear, shame, and unworthiness. Understand the basis of joy, compassion, and vulnerability in thriving in your relationships and community. Learn how to approach life’s obstacles with awareness and acceptance, and move toward resilience. The path to experiencing joy includes stilling the mind and opening the heart to self compassion. Learn to love more deeply, work more skillfully, and live an intentional life without being overwhelmed by life’s stressors. Mindfulness involves how we see ourselves, and how that self perception affects our reality. Sessions can be customized to your group’s needs.
