Program Details

Session 1: The First Step - Demystifying Mindfulness

The first session will introduce you to mindfulness meditation and tips for everyday practice. You will learn simple exercises for calming the body and be introduced to mindfulness of breath and body to help bring attention to the present moment. After a brief guided meditation, Gayathri will discuss the science behind the benefits of mindfulness and answer questions the group may have.

​

Session 2: Befriending Your Thoughts and Emotions
In the second session, we will explore how to bring a friendly attention to our thinking mind and work with difficult emotions. You will learn ways to transform your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings from one of conflict and struggle to one of compassion and acceptance. Bring your questions from your practice the previous week!

​

Session 3: Nurturing Connection Through Compassion
For the third week, we will focus on Loving Kindness (Metta) and Compassion (Karuna) practices. These nurture positive emotions, foster empathy, and promote emotional well-being. They help cultivate an open, loving heart towards ourselves and others, creating a foundation for deeper connection, healing, and inner peace.

​

Session 4: Developing a Sustainable Practice

The concluding session will review learnings from the series and provide participants with a roadmap for developing an ongoing, sustainable meditation practice. We will end with a guided gratitude meditation. As with previous sessions, we will have time for extended Q&A.

​

We invite you to join us on this journey to cultivate presence, calm, and clarity in your life!

Introduction to Mindfulness: Testimonial

I loved the atmosphere of kindness, non-judgment, and acceptance that started with the teacher and was taken and returned by the group. I appreciated the connection – one could walk not knowing anyone in the room and through the truthfulness of the teachings and the shared experience we all felt close and embarrassment and shame was gone.

I immediately applied what I learned at home and it works! I think I have started to build new skills and I love it!

Maria A.

As a result of taking this class, I am more aware of how a situation is evolving in the moment and how to “direct” that evolution in a more mindful way. I really appreciated the individual attention and willingness to discuss specific issues/problems in an open and helpful space.

Heather S.

I have a much greater sense of mindfulness after having taken this class. I’ve taken quite a few meditation/mindfulness classes and maybe I need a lot of repetition to internalize this, but I think it’s really due to Gayathri’s skill, vision and warmth.
