Course Description

Many will find that a brief training and experience with a mindfulness practice will bring about a unique experience of peacefulness or expanded awareness. Experienced practitioners tell us that they develop an inner poise or balance, and in improved sensitivity to the signals of their body and mind. They may acquire a sense of connection to the world, and speak of feeling that they are on a path. This sense can take the form of finding a personal meaning in each new moment. They say that it is easier to accept adversity, but with an enhanced ability to respond in a positive, assertive manner.
