Playful Mindfulness Maui Immersive: A joyful journey to everyday confidence, calm, and connection
PLAYFUL MINDFULNESS MAUI IMMERSIVE
a joyful journey to everyday confidence, calm, and connection
--Offered in partnership with Boom Coaching (www.boomcoaching.org)--
You know it in your bones. The world ain't slowing down or getting any easier--and that fact can leave you feeling breathless, anxious and frustrated.
Mindfulness--paying attention to the present moment with curiosity and kindness--helps you pause, take a breath, and reconnect to the wisdom that replaces (or at least balances) all that stress with discovery, delight, and contentment. And another knowing that you have what you need to survive--and thrive.
Integrating insights and exercises from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) with those from improvisational theater, this course will help you:
--forge new neural pathways,
--build healthy mental habits
--develop a more connected, more charismatic personal presence.
While many think mindfulness training has to be somber or pious (this is serious stuff!), this course offers a different approach. Here, we learn to *play* attention through traditional methods, yes, and ALSO through humor, games, and easy, interactive improv exercises.
Our topics will include:
--relationship to failure
--playing attention
--cultivating curiosity and kindness
--mind as storyteller
--mindfulness in motion,
--moving from reactivity to response.
Learning modes will include formal mindfulness practices, informal practices that integrate these skills into daily life, and shared inquiry using safe small and large discussions to draw wisdom from the whole group.
Please note: to get the most out of this class--and to support your classmates and their learning--you should expect to commit to at least twenty minutes of daily practice at home following the course.
