Learn core teachings behind compassion-based, insight meditation. Four classes are 60 minutes each in length. The fifth class will be a optional longer Zoom retreat (meditations, practical mindfulness tips, Q&A). Some roots of mindfulness practice originated with Plum Village and Thich Nhat Hanh. In this Zoom class, the SGL will lead students in guided meditations and discussions on mindfulness, its history, and how to practice it. The class will explore some science behind mindfulness and how to incorporate mindfulness into daily living. You will be given resources to continue a meditation practice long after the course ends. This course is ideal for beginners and experienced practitioners interested in this meditation style.
