Mini-retreat on mindfulness: learn to quiet distraction, cultivate presence, and unwind with a soothing sound healing session.
About this Event

I would like to invite a small group for a deep dive into present moment awareness. In these modern times our attention is drawn into distraction, stress, divisiveness, and fear. Our minds are overburdened with inputs. Join me for a mindfulness mini-retreat. We will explore the nature of the distracted mind, experiential practices for cultivating presence, and end the evening with a sound healing session using singing bowls and gongs.

Course Facilitators: Jason Kniola, LMHC, LCAC, NCC

Learning Objectives:
1.) Understand how stress and distraction impact attention and presence.

2.) Practice mindfulness and sound healing techniques to strengthen calm and awareness.
