Mindfulness, or mind-training, is the practice of being awake. By training up our ability to closely watch our mind, we become intimate with our suffering, our habitual patterns of grasping and avoiding, all the while opening a doorway to personal insight. Only when we know ourselves deeply can we relax reactive habits and live with a more open-heart. In this 4-week series, you'll practice a variety of traditional mindfulness meditation methods that calm the mind and relax the body, improve focus and concentration, develop an accepting and resilient orientation towards life's challenges, and cultivate an open-hearted and friendly attitude towards yourself and others. 

This workshop will use the Eight Limbs of Yoga to help find the freedom to release the frustration of these challenging times in a safe, restorative environment through a practice using asanas, meditation, conversation and restorative justice practices. Facilitator Michelle Chapman-Campbell, Doctor of Ministry, is a certified and experienced chaplain, counselor, holistic life coach, restorative justice facilitator, and yoga instructor. Her collective professional and vocational experience is a culmination of 20+ years of holding safe spaces for individuals and communities to engage in restorative conversations.
