Greetings!
Welcome to the August edition of News from
Stress
Resources.
August.... a time for taking it a bit
slower, allowing
ourselves a time for reflection before the hustle and
bustle of a new academic year. August is a great
time to practice deliberate mindfulness, using the cue
of the more relaxed pace of summer to remind us to
open to the present moment
Noticing what is around us -- when was the last time
you
looked at a Monarch butterfly,
listened to a cricket,
tasted an ear of local corn,
smelled the ocean, or
felt the cool water of a lake on your
skin? August is exploding with mindful experiences, if
we can only slow down enough to be present, even
for
just a moment.
As a way to step back and find some space and
relaxation during the hot and hazy, but
often not too lazy days of August, I will be offering
two workshops over the next two weeks.
The August drop-in session will be this Thursday,
August 11 at the Wright Tavern from 7-9 PM.
This session is for former students or others
with
some previous meditation experience.
Additionally, I will be leading an
evening workshop on Wednesday,
August 17 from 6-8 PM at Walden Pond in
Concord. No previous experience with mindfulness or
meditation is necessary for this unique opportunity to
experience mindfulness in nature. There are still
openings for this evening of
mindfulness, but pre-registration is necessary by
August 15.
As always, I welcome your comments, suggestions
and feedback for newsletter topics, as well as future
programming.
Wishing you a mindful August,
Pam
