Mindfulness, Merriment, and Meaning:
A FREE Conscious Stress Reduction Class Wednesdays, November 14 through December 19, 2018, 6 to 7:30 p.m. Meets at the Canton Free Library, 8 Park Street, Canton NY Learn to develop resilience in the face of the demands and traumas of everyday life through mindfulness training, and a series of tools to invite greater calm and meaning into life. Many struggle to find the “merry” and “happy” during the upcoming holiday season, often feeling the pressures of daily life combining with the pressures to shop and spend and keep up with the demands of being ready for the holidays. This often causes us to miss the deeper meanings of the holiday season as well. While this class is designed to ease these upcoming holiday pressures, since stressors are a fact of life, these skills are applicable far beyond the winter holidays. Participants will be given a variety of skills involving relaxation, beginning meditation, and mindfulness that develops the skills of influencing both thought and reaction patterns. This class is taught by Ginger Storey-Welch who leads a Zen meditation group on the St. Lawrence University campus where across 20 yrs she has introduced many to the practice of meditation. She has also taught classes on meditation and mindfulness and regularly attends meditation retreats. Participants are encouraged to bring a blanket to the first class. |
