Part 3 of the Mindfulness Series

Description: Mindfulness is the practice of being present to one’s experience with loving attention, which studies have shown helps reduce stress and promotes wellbeing. This class introduces mindfulness practices that invite more moments of joy and happiness into our lives. From neuroscience we know that humans have inherited a real negativity bias. We look for threats in our environment to help us survive. We are not wired to notice what’s going well or take in the good. Students will learn ways to incline the mind towards joy, gratitude and a sense of well‐being.

Bettna was a social worker with Child Welfare Services, including the bilingual Adoptions Unit, and non‐profit social service agencies for 13 years.
