Everyday Life as Mindfulness Practice (SB1G24)

Description:
Join us for a foundational series on the common-sense teachings of mindful awareness. With a focus on interactive discussion, meditation, and community building, Sylvia (via video recording) and Heidi (live via Zoom) will share practical, accessible, timeless teachings and tools that support the integration of mindfulness, non-harming, and kindness into the complexities of our everyday lives. Connect and be nurtured by the support of saṅgha, shared stories, and meaningful moments as we explore how to bring our practice more fully into everyday life.

This iteration of the series will involve interactive discussion, led by facilitating teacher Heidi Bourne, and will include Dharma talks, discussion and reflection, guided meditation, and Q&A.

With easy, accessible instructions based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, ethics (sila), and lovingkindness (mettā), this course series will offer an opportunity to take your practice off of the cushion and into the world.

Class dates are: August 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th; all classes are held on Thursdays from 4:00pm – 5:30pm US Pacific Time.
