Welcome to Foundations of Meditation--A Mindfulness and Mental Health Approach! My name is Sazi Wald, and I am a local therapist who will be facilitating this 4 week workshop.
During the training will explore foundations of meditation utilizing a mindfulness and mental health lens. This class is QTBIPOC affirming and queer led!!
We will be using many body and sensation attuning practices so please be aware if that is an issue for you.
Bringing your own cushion or pillows are suggested but not required especially during the first session as we will learn how to settle in our bodies using these tools.
We will meet for 45minutes from 7am-7:45am on Saturdays for 4 weeks and ask that you meditate daily in-between classe sessions using the skills from the workshop. You are encouraged to come a little early.
The group is limited to 6 people.
Price: $215.26
Dates:
August 23rd
August 30th
September 6th
