Tuesdays; April 30, May 7, May 14 & May 21; 5:30–7 p.m. U.S. Central TimeJust what is “mindfulness” and how might it be of use? These gentle evenings at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) with Ann Jackson, PBVM, will offer brief introductions to aspects of mindfulness and self-compassion and lots of reflective invitations to pay attention to where in the body we may be holding struggle, joy, loss, anger, hope, contentment, denial, courage, tenacity ... Mindful meditation practices help us to sense shifts that occur within and help us to make choices for a healthier life. Mindfully spending time in nature prevents health problems such as stress, depression and anxiety, and improves our sense of resilience and interpersonal relationships. Weather permitting, we hope to take practice inside and outside. Come once a week for four weeks to explore and begin to establish a practice of mindfulness. Ann Jackson, PBVM, Prairiewoods’ coordinator of spiritual services is currently studying mindfulness meditation with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. Ann enjoys cultivating open, safe space for people new to mindfulness to explore walking, sitting, resting practices that allow participant’s experience of meditation to be the teacher. The cost is $75 for the four-week series. Limited overnight lodging is available for an additional $60, which includes continental breakfast.
