Returning to the Present: An Introduction to Mindfulness

This free 30-minute live session offers an introduction to mindfulness and a preview of Returning to Yourself: Mindfulness for Life’s Demanding Seasons. We’ll keep mindfulness simple: noticing what is happening in the present moment and practicing how to return when attention moves. You’ll experience a brief, choice-centered grounding practice, explore a few possible places for attention to rest, and have time for private reflection. You’ll leave with one simple practice you can return to in everyday life—and a clearer sense of whether the four-week course feels like a supportive fit for you. No previous meditation experience is needed. Participation is invitational, and the preview is complete in itself; attending does not create any obligation to enroll in the full course.
