We will learn and practice skills to build inner strength based on the ancient practices of mindfulness, meditation, and self-compassion. These practices will help you develop a positive mindset and build resilience to help you face what life throws your way. We will explore ways to use these skills in everyday life. The class will include a short presentation, experiential practice periods, and sharing and discussion. The material is based on the work of Rick Hanson, Neuroscientist and Author of "Hardwiring Happiness" and "Resilient" and Insight Meditation practices, as taught by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.
