What is mindfulness?
It’s common to see the term tossed around in all sorts of ways. Sometimes it’s a gentle nudge to “pay attention,” other times it’s offered as a tool to calm down when life feels overwhelming. In some spaces, it’s even sold as the secret to instant relaxation. But when we limit mindfulness to breathing exercises or stress relief, we miss so much of the richness the practice has to offer.
This series is about widening that perspective and exploring mindfulness not as a quick fix, but as a way of living.
Over 8 weeks, we’ll dive into the history of mindfulness, play with sense-based practices, explore movement, and—most importantly—learn how to bring mindfulness off the cushion and into daily life. Each week, you’ll take home a simple, playful, thought-provoking practice to experiment with—fueling our conversations for the week ahead.
We’ll draw from the Time, Space, Knowledge (TSK) vision created by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche, along with Full Presence Mindfulness, developed by Jack Petranker at the Center for Creative Inquiry.
We invite you to join us on Tuesdays at 5pm pacific time // 8pm eastern time to connect with these practices and bring a little more mindfulness into your own life.
