Advanced Mindfulness Meditation (DRAKE HALL)

This course offers a variety of advanced mindfulness practice tools for diverse audiences and contributes to stress reduction and relaxation, increased focus and concentration, and overall well-being. This course will build on mindfulness meditation practices offered in Fall 2023 and previous years. Newcomers are welcome too. Sessions will focus on mindfulness meditations with attention to compassion practice and objects like patience, generosity, mental clarity, and death. We'll also engage in Qigong mindful movement. New mindfulness practices will be introduced each week, in addition to reviewing the previous week's experiences. Participants will be invited to engage in 20-30-minute "hands-on" guided practices. A group Q&A and sharing will follow each practice for collaborative learning. If you have an existing meditation practice you are interested in expanding or wishing to begin in a deep dive, please feel free to join this class.
