GRADUATE COURSE: THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS

Sometimes called "the pastures of abiding," these are areas in which we rest our attention to achieve higher levels of insight and peace. The four foundations are awareness of the body, of feeling tone, of mind states, and of how things are. One session will be devoted to each foundation and will consist of instruction, meditation, mindful movement, discussion, and handouts. Previous experience with meditation is strongly recommended.
