Mindfulness Mini-Retreat: Being Mindful in Practice with Dr. Manizeh Mirza-Gruber

Sunday, October 22 | 1:00 - 4:00p |  $20 per person

Mindfulness has many benefits in practice for our body, mind, heart, and spirit. In these fast-paced, distracted, multitasking, 24/7 days, we are often swept away from recognizing what is arising in the present moment.

Through brief didactic teachings, guided meditations, experiential practices, sharing, and questions/answers, you will learn how being present for yourself allows you to be present and connect with others in your personal and professional life. You will be able to incorporate these teachings and practices into your daily life and nurture your heart with tenderness and kindness as you create a sense of emotional balance, ease, and self-care practices.

No prior experience of meditation or mindfulness is required! Click here to Register
