 Mindfulness Family Day

May 21, 2016
9 am - 11 am

Lake Michigan Academy
(see flyer below)


Location:  Lake Michigan Academy 2428 Burton St. SE, Grand Rapids, MI
 
Whether you are just curious about Mindfulness or you and your family practice Mindfulness daily, come to our first Mindfulness Family Day event.  Support and celebrate mindfulness practices in the home.
 
Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose to the present moment with kindness and curiosity. It is a way to uncover a path to resilience. It is a practice that helps us learn how to cope effectively with life’s challenges.

In today’s world, stressors affect your well-being and happiness and your families well-being and happiness.  A crucial skill in managing stress effectively is to be able to deal with change whenever it occurs.  Mindfulness is a skill anyone can learn that helps with attention, emotional regulation, self-compassion and empathy. 

During our 2-hour event participants will (learn) practice:
  • Mindful Listening
  • Mindful Breathing
  • Heartfulness
  • Mindful Movement
 
No experience necessary, we hope you will join us for an inquiry into the present moment with kindness and curiosity.
