Mindfulness Foundations

The Mindfulness Foundations Program is a 12-week training to learn mindfulness through four pillars – body, mind, emotion, and connection – and cultivate mental health and well-being. The Wednesday class is closed for enrollment, but there will be another cohort starting on Sep 8th, meeting every Tuesday at 12 pm (Mountain Time) for one hour to go on a regenerative learning journey to develop mindfulness. The class will be in person only, at the Old Main building, room #304.

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.
