SEEING THE GOOD: LOVING ONESELF AND FINDING BALANCE IN TIMES OF CHALLENGE
A VIRTUAL MINDFULNESS COURSE for Women
Aug. 20-Sept. 17, 2022
Saturday Mornings - 10-11:30 a.m. (CT)/11-12:30 (ET)

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. ~ The Buddha

This is an exceptionally difficult time with so many challenges on so many fronts—in addition to whatever our own personal and very real challenges might be… It is essential for our wellbeing that we find a way to recalibrate, to turn our attention towards that which is good—the essential beauty and wonder and endless grace both within and around us—each and every day. It is here that hope lies—in the beauty that is waiting for us to turn our gaze towards it, all the time, but in so many ways, we have forgotten how to see.

During this course we will explore the time-honored mindfulness practices of self-compassion, forgiveness, lovingkindness (or ‘metta’ as it is known in mindfulness meditation circles), and equanimity, that beautiful place of inner peace that allows us to find strength and calm in the midst of life’s storms. We will also take time to turn towards self-care and to establish daily habits that will allow us to find the resilience, strength and fortitude we all need to be well and feel good in our lives. Together, these practices will help us to see the good within ourselves, others, and the larger world in which we live— to find peace, light and hope—even in the midst of difficulty and challenge.

I hope you will join me for this journey back to goodness, remembering that which we have forgotten, and in the process, restoring ourselves and our lives to wonder, joy, hope and delight.

Note: We will support our coursework with the book Awakening Joy by James Baraz and Shoshana Alexander. While it is not required, if you plan to register for the course, I highly recommend purchasing the book to support you on the path (available as hard copy or audio book.)
