Mindfulness Meditation Workshop with Doug MacLean
This workshop is for individuals who are interested in the practice of Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a human capacity for paying attention on purpose, in the present, to the experience of being alive. It is a particular way of knowing that we often ignore, and can be cultivated by listening carefully and compassionately to one's moment-to-moment experience.
Mindfulness has been part of the Buddhist traditions for thousands of years. However, the essence of mindfulness is universal. It is about refining a capacity for attention and awareness. It is not something that you have to "get" -- it is already within you. It is a deep and powerful resource for learning and growing.
Join Doug MacLean for this 3-hour workshop where you will be guided through mindful activities -- meditation, gentle stretching and yoga -- to help you access your capacity for mindfulness.
Sunday, February 15th
2:30-5:30 PM at Yoga Mandala
