Part 2 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. In this class students will explore the essence of compassion practice; an invitation to turn towards suffering. Suffering, as much as happiness, is part of the human experience and we can learn to offer compassion in a way that doesn’t lead to compassion fatigue. The intention of the class is to help students experience how compassion can strengthen our well‐being rather than deplete it.
