How do we free ourselves from our places of narrowness and constriction?
In this course, psychologist and Jewish meditation teacher Dr. Gail Albert will teach the basics of mindfulness meditation and practice along with specific approaches for freeing us from our habitual mind traps.
Our goal is to use mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety and depression; improve our relationships; bring us into the present moment; and open our hearts to the experience of the Divine Mystery that we call God.
Half of each class will include meditation instruction, practice and feedback. The other half will include informal mindfulness practices and techniques for habit change in daily life, with experiential exercises that are rooted in Torah and liturgy. Handouts will be given out along with suggested readings.
This is an 8-week course, with two hours of class each week. We will also have an optional one-day silent retreat near the end of the course, from 9AM to 3PM, with a silent lunch.
Participants will agree to set aside time at home for mindfulness meditation and informal mindfulness practices.
