We often search for peace outside of ourselves - in things, in other people, or in experiences. Meditation offers another possibility; learning to cultivate peace from deeper within.

This second mindfulness workshop will explore the relationship between our inner experience and how we relate to the world around us. Through meditation, a guided body scan, and a loving-kindness practice, we'll learn how to observe the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations we carry - and how to create more space between what we experience and how we respond.

Instead of aiming to eliminate all discomfort from our lives, meditation can teach us to meet our life experience more peacefully with greater awareness, patience, and compassion; allowing us to bring these same qualities into our relationships, interactions, and everyday lives.

Inner peace is where we begin. Outer peace is how we continue our practice into the world.
