Accessing Mindfulness
Accessing Mindfulness
A New 5-Week Class Series Beginning September 3rd
Led by Mick Malotte
When: Saturdays 9:30 to 11:00am September 3, 10, 17 (no class 9/24), and October 1 and 8.
Description:
- Suitable for Non-Buddhists and Buddhists alike.
- A good introduction for those new to mindfulness meditation, also a good refresher for those with experience who want to establish a regular daily meditation practice and see more benefit in daily life.
- Similar to courses Mick teaches at Stanford Medical School and UCSF Medical Center with added dharma depth.
- Based on original mindfulness texts and current contemplative neuroscience. Optional companion books: “Introducing Mindfulness” by Bhikkhu Analayo and “Peak Mind” by Amishi Jha.
Daily Meditation Commitment: Minimum of 12 minutes every day for 5 weeks, based on recent neuroscience findings (reduced distress and improved well-being). Once benefits are experienced and meditation becomes an enjoyable habit, then natural motivation follows to continue and increase practice time, if desired, with greater benefits.
Where: In person at White Heron Sangha Meditation Center.
Cost: This course is free with dana accepted.
