Description: We are looking forward to offering this online version of Mindful Aging.
You will need access to an internet connection along with a computer or tablet that can run the Zoom application. This course will take place in live, online sessions that will not be recorded to maintain confidentiality.
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in seeing with new eyes." Proust
This class is for those who have already been introduced to mindfulness.
In this online class we will gently begin to explore our relationship to aging. Through mindfulness practices including deep listening, gentle movement and guided sitting meditation, we can learn to befriend the changes and discover the opportunities in aging for deepening in wisdom and compassion. Our mind and heart can grow wiser, more joyful and compassionate.
We will use movement, dialogue, contemplation, poetry and guided practices adapted from John Makransky's "letting-be," "deep receiving," and "compassionate presence" practices as ways to access information from our body/heart/mind as we explore together this opportunity to relax into aging.
