Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation Course

6-Week "Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation" Course

​

Tuesdays

Nov 1 - Dec 6

5:30-6:45pm CST

At Empowered Spaces

​

Mindfulness is a tool, technique and a skill to cultivate compassionate awareness and attention with ourselves and thus, our world. While we cannot always control the life that unfolds around and through us, we can learn to attend to our direct experience in a skillful way that invites nurturance, increased access to agency, and a more resonant relationship with our body. This 6-week, “Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation” course ushers students through the basic, skill-building foundations of Insight meditation practice through a trauma-sensitive / anti-oppressive lens.

Each class session lasts 75 minutes and includes lecture, guided meditation, question & answer period, and a take-away prompts to continue cultivating a supportive home-practice. This course will be held hybrid live + virtual (over Google Meet) and no meditation experience is necessary. Course registration includes access to “Orbital,” a private, community engagement forum to support cultivation of mindfulness & wellBEing practices. Access to Orbital includes: a mindfulness & mental health resource list, a short video series to help students prepare & build consistency, how to find the right posture & practice variations to support their body, a glossary of common terms, weekly practice prompts and more. Upon registration, students will receive an intake form and waiver to fill out for participation.
