Meditation and Mindfulness in Nature: Cultivating Non-striving and Acceptance

Registration required - details below.
The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are well studied, and we know that living mindfully and meditating can help you feel more relaxed, reduce the effects of stress, decrease anxiety, and improve focus. In our final class, we’ll explore the act of non-striving, focusing on being rather than doing. We’ll also explore how acceptance is related to mindfulness, seeing things as they actually are in the present moment. We’ll try a body scan meditation, so wear clothes that will allow you to lie on the ground. Bring a folding chair, rowel or yoga mat for your comfort as we sit and walk on the grass. Also, you may want to bring a journal, pen and water bottle.
