Mindfulness Foundations

[The enrollment period is currently closed. Please add your email to the waitlist to be notified when this course opens up again for enrollment.]

The Mindfulness Foundations Program is a 12-week training to help you learn mindfulness through four pillars: body, mind, emotion, and connection. Starting on Sep 1st and ending on Dec 7th, we will meet every Wednesday at 2:30 pm (Mountain Time) for one hour to go on a transformative learning journey to develop mindfulness. The class will be hybrid and you have the option to attend either online (via Zoom) or in person (at the Sorensen Center).

Mindfulness is a human skill that we can cultivate through training our intentional attention with appropriate attitude. Among the many benefits of developing mindfulness are reduced anxiety and greater life balance. This training was designed to create an incremental learning process that helps you develop the skill of mindfulness in a smooth progression, while applying the exercises into your everyday life. You will learn a different exercise each week to practice it daily until the next meeting, then share and learn from each other's experiences and questions. Creating community for mutual support is important for setting habit and a routine of practice. Thus, you will be encouraged to actively participate in the group.
