Mindful Moments: Gratitude

Looking for ways to better handle the stressors of daily life? Or seeking ways to enjoy a more calm and balanced state of mind on a regular basis? In this “Mindful Moments” workshop, we will demonstrate and experience a sampler of easeful techniques and practices that can help you unwind from the day and release stress naturally. The focus of this session will be integrating mindfulness practices while cultivating gratitude, offering participants meaningful tools to embrace the spirit of Thanksgiving.

Discover ways to explore your breath, your inner awareness and other centering practices that can help you find clarity, lift your spirits, boost your immune system and improve your overall health and well-being. In this practical session, we’ll also discuss ways to integrate these mindfulness-based practices into your everyday life, in a revitalizing and enjoyable way. This introductory level workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience and practice as a way of learning and returning to balance.
