Intro to Mindfulness

Intro to Mindfulness:

You might see on the cover of magazines that mindfulness is something that people do to make them calm and feel at peace...but then what? Mindfulness can be the anchor to bring steadiness, balance and a sense of ease to our day to day lives, even while living in this groundless time. And, we need to move at the speed of trust. In this one hour workshop, we'll learn some basic mindfulness techniques, practice meditation, and learn how to bring mindfulness into your daily life. No experience is needed, please come as you are.

Instructor Leslie Booker:

Booker brings her heart and wisdom to the intersection of Dharma, Embodied Wisdom, and Social Justice; an integration of ancient wisdom practices that support us in navigating our modern world. She shares her expertise nationally as a guest lecturer at conferences, universities, and Dharma centers, on expanding our vision around culturally responsive teaching, and changing the paradigm of self and community care.

Booker began sharing practice with vulnerable populations in 2005, and was a senior teacher and Director of Teacher Trainings with Lineage Project, where she worked with incarcerated and vulnerable youth for ten years. During this time, she also facilitated a mindfulness and cognitive-based therapy intervention on Riker's Island from 2009-2011, a partnership between New York University and the National Institute of Health.
