What is “mindfulness”?

We will explore this question by practicing some simple guided meditations and discussion around the mind-body interactions.

Learning methods to turn towards difficulties such as stress, pain or anxiety can increase our emotional balance and resilience, and can support a calmer, kinder way of being-toward yourself and towards others in your life.
