Enjoy the support of a meditation community (sangha) while learning the fundamentals of a Mindfulness Meditation practice with Certified Mindfulness Educator & Mentor, Lauri Glenn. This course will be held online via ZOOM so you can join wherever you are! This is an opportunity to learn and practice together. There will be instruction and practice as well as time to reflect and share within the group, deepening our learning through our own as well as others experience.
NOTE: If you will miss more than one class, please register at another time when you can attend consistently to support the group class dynamic and learning).
You will receive recordings of guided meditations to support your practice in the weeks between. Please have a quiet and comfortable place to sit for the session where you will be uninterrupted. Please bring a notebook and pen.
Details
Sangha (community) is one of the most fundamental components of learning and growth. While each of our particular stories and lives are beautifully unique, we all share the common thread of human experience. The joys and sorrows of life are not just ours alone, they are ours together. Learning and practicing meditation together helps us to see these common threads, to realize we are not alone on this wild ride called Life, and to gain the trust and confidence in others so that we might lean on and learn from each other as we traverse this journey.
This course will comprise six, 75-minute classes, over 6 weeks, held via ZOOM. During our time together, you will learn the introductory basics of Mindfulness meditation and how to implement it in your daily life.
Each week builds on the previous and you will learn how to “anchor” your attention mindfully, how to work with sensation and the breath, how to work with the mind/thoughts, emotions and difficulty in your life. These skills translate directly to all the moments of your life. Skillful application of these tools over time, can create more ease, and joy and less stress in your life. The time on your “cushion” (meditating) is really the training ground for the rest of your life off the cushion.
You will receive several recorded, guided meditations which you can use to support your practice and you will also learn how to guide yourself.
BONUS
You will also recieve one complimentary 20-minute consultation with Lauri during the course. This is an opportunity to ask questions, clarify teachings, and get a taste of Mindfulness Mentoring. These will take place in the 4th and 5th weeks of the course.
(I am available for private Mindfulness Mentoring sessions during and after the course completes. Sessions scheduled during the 6-week course will be offered at a sliding scale of $100-$50/session. Sessions are 60 minutes and held via ZOOM. Please inquire directly if interested.)
I look forward to beginning this journey into meditation with you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. lauri@lauriglenn.com. 530-386-5578
