Mindfulness Meditation for Stressful Situations

Mindful walking and sitting in nature, known as “forest bathing,” is part of this in-person class. Participants will discover that freedom from anxiety and trauma evolves from incorporating small moments of stillness into your everyday life. Join a supportive community to enjoy practices that increase energy and joy like mindful breathing, movement, nature connection and doodling that engage your senses and help overcome trauma.  Try out self-compassion practices that allow you to step out of negative thoughts and bring deep care to yourself and others. Based on the classic Kabat-Zinn Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course, instructor Andrea D'Asaro offers a streamlined course for people in high-stress jobs such as nurses, doctors, parents, and teachers-or for anyone who needs moments of calm in their daily lives.
