Managing Mindfulness is held the fourth Tuesday of each month at a member home, featuring Jon Kabat-Zin's Wherever You Go There You Are. If you RSVP you will be sent the program address.
++++++++ NO RSVP EVER NEEDED IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ADDRESS —JUST SHOW UP AND ENJOY! ++++++++
We’ll be focusing on a VARIETY of mindfulness topics and have a wonderful sharing of our everyday challenges/successes/questions regarding being here, right now!
AND IF THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST MEETING TO ATTEND:
1---It’s an opportunity for “real talk/discussion” about the difficulties most all of us share in modern life with being as mindful, as often, as we’d like. It’s so, so easy to be “in our heads” regarding what did, or didn’t, happen and what may, or may not, happen, rather than simply experiencing “where we are right now." Our meetings are all about "being here now," of course—and sharing our successes and challenges in that quest : )
2---Jon Kabat Zinn's interview on CBS’s "60 Minutes” is below and well worth watching—it lasts about 25 minutes and gives a good overview of “mindfulness” and our group’s focus!
