ONLINE: Writing and Being: A 4-Session Intro to Mindfulness Meditation
September 14, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
This introductory level course is created with communities of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and allies in mind, and will foster an environment of mutual support in establishing an ongoing practice of mindfulness meditation.
THIS CLASS IS OPEN TO ALL BIPOC AND ALLIES.
HELD IN 4 SESSIONS
EACH 6:00PM – 7:30PM MT
SEPTEMBER 14, 21, 28, October 5
Offering tools to honor the experience of historically marginalized people, each week builds on the previous instruction. Full attendance is encouraged in order to cultivate a safe container for growing our practice together.
Participants will explore mindfulness through meditation, writing prompts, and direct application of these practices in order to show up with greater resilience, presence, compassion, and agency in meeting the moments of daily life.
Make no mistake: meditation can be dull, hard, and boring sometimes. It can also be rapturous and joyful. Our aim is to establish an ongoing practice that welcomes the growth and healing that consistency can bring. This safe community creates the added benefit of sharing our experiences, personal stories, intentions, and progress as we process. Together.
4 online sessions:
Mondays: 5pm – 6:30 PT / 6pm – 7:30pm MT / 7pm – 8:30pm CT / 8pm – 9:30pm ET
SEPTEMBER 14, 21, 28, October 5
