Join Dawn for an 8-week secular (non-religious) course grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and centuries-old Zen practice. Designed to build mental clarity, emotional resilience, and stress awareness, this course offers a structured and research-based introduction to meditation and mindfulness.
Each session explores a key theme and includes guided practices, discussion, and reflections to deepen your understanding:
Week 1: Rewire – Discover how meditation reshapes the brain through neuroplasticity, and commit to daily practice to begin rewiring attention and awareness.
Week 2: Regulate – Explore how mindfulness interrupts stress responses, supports the nervous system, and builds inner resources for challenge and change.
Week 3: Observe – Learn to meet physical pain with curiosity rather than resistance, and shift your relationship to discomfort through focused attention.
Week 4: Feel – Develop tools to sit with emotional states such as anxiety, fear or low mood — without avoidance or judgement — using the body as anchor.
Week 5: Detach – Reflect on the roles you play and how they impact identity, stress, and time pressure. Use meditation to find space between reaction and response.
Week 6: Restore – Identify the habits and relationships that nourish or deplete you. Learn how daily mindfulness can support better boundaries and balance.
Week 7: Elevate – Understand the longer-term cognitive and psychological benefits of sustained practice — from improved focus to emotional resilience.
Week 8: Sustain – Review and reflect on your 8-week journey, and create a personal plan to continue your meditation practice with confidence.
