Weaving Mindfulness Practices into Your Life - Saturday June 7

Mindfulness practice has been shown to increase people's satisfaction with their life and their overall happiness, decrease anxiety, and lead to more connected relationships, and clearer choices. But, sitting still on a mat doesn't work for everyone, and happily it is not the only way to practice mindfulness!  Learn how to incorporate embodied mindful moments anywhere and explore different mindful meditation practices, including sitting, walking, moving, writing, and doing, so you can expand your ideas of how to practice.
Using an expansive frame for Mindfulness practice you will learn to invite attention to the present, and bring real life emotions and concerns into your awareness while also softening towards them. Kindness toward yourself will be a key component and you will have the opportunity to talk about your unique intention for your mindfulness practice. Melissa will discuss the benefits and downsides of committing to one specific practice, and how to not let your practice turn into an ego trip, and instead let it be part of a full and complex life. You will leave with an intention and a plan for practice to take into your day to day. 

Sat., June 7, 10am to 4pm at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, CA

Offered through Cabrillo Extension $95/ $100/ $110 (Bring-a-Friend/Early Bird/Regular) Registration  

 

Duo or Trio Contemplative Nature Sessions

These sessions are one hour outdoor with one or two other soul explorers. They are not designed to address the relationship between you, but rather to share and witness each other as trusted companions. They are not hikes for exercise, but contemplative time to listen and take in the natural world as a guide and teacher. Suggested that you commit to at least 6 weeks together to allow for deepening.

You can choose your own fellow soul explorers or if you are interested in share sessions and want to be paired with someone, we can do an intake call & I will let you know if there is someone who would be a good match for your interests & timing. $250 a session, split by group
