Monday, August 22, 2022, 8:00 AM to Friday, August 26, 2022, 5:00 PM EDT
Category: CE Events: Adult Individuals

Mindfulness is a contemplative practice that quiets the mind in order to cultivate a personal capacity for deep concentration and insight in the face of the 10,000 distractions of everyday life. It is often defined as the awareness that arises by paying attention on purpose in the present moment non-judgmentally. We will look at the importance of relationship, friendship, and community in a time of fragmentation and polarization. We will explore practices of speaking, listening, and learning that reveal our common humanity and help us respect our differences.In order to work mindfully with others or to build a compassionate, effective, and sustainable organization, we need to be mindful ourselves. This course will introduce a series of secular mindfulness practices for individuals and groups, including some that have been developed specifically for the workplace. To learn mindfulness, you will not be asked to take leaps of faith, dim your critical voice, or fit any square pegs into round holes. You will be using the resources and wisdom of your own body and mind, followed by discussions on creating a way of working together based on the values and perspectives embodied in the practices. Each session will include Q&A, discussion, participation, and examples of how others are using these practices.
