Dear friends, I wanted to begin here with a message about mindfulness in this ongoing challenging time. Now is the time to feel our feet on the earth, rest in the breath, connect with our hearts, and practise wise response. The practise is big enough to hold this moment, too.
I am certified to teach in both the secular mindfulness approach and also in the Insight Meditation tradition, which is the foundation of our modern day mindfulness practise. Both approaches speak to our universal human condition and how we can cultivate peace; everyone is welcome to all classes.
My next secular Introduction to Mindfulness class will be held in the fall of 2021. If you wish me to let you know when it opens for registration, please email me and I will be happy to put your name on the announcement list.
This spring there is one more Community Circle class coming up, on Tuesday, March 30. This session is centered around small group relational practises exploring resilience. It is based in the Insight Meditation tradition. Please see Mindfulness Classes to register.
Everyone is also welcome to the drop in Insight Meditation sit on Wednesdays. You can register for these at www.saskatooninsight.com
You will find my retreat schedule on the Insight Meditation page.
With every good wish, Jeanne
