Learn how to cultivate the optimism and confidence that can help make the best of times when life seems to be going wrong. What would your life be like if you could maintain a sense of wellbeing no matter the circumstances you face? While we’re never happy when things go wrong, we can cultivate the optimism and confidence to make the best out of those situations. Join us to learn mindfulness practices that can lead to the longstanding, gentle mental discipline required to respond to situations with thoughtful, constructive, compassionate, and skillful actions. In this workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through meditative techniques – some calming, some challenging – and reflect on how the quality of awareness changes after we focus our attention on practicing mindfulness.
