We will be in the meeting room to the right as you come in the front door

Come and join the discussion as we explore the basics of mindfulness and the attitudes helpful to developing a practice outlined in Jon Kabat-Zinn's "Full Catastrophe Living."

Each session we will focus on one attitude and what it means to us, both in our meditation practice and in our daily lives.

Our first session will be on the attitude of "Non-judging" or taking the stance of an impartial witness to your inner and outer experience, being able to notice and step back from the constant stream of liking and disliking thoughts we have cluttering our minds much of the time and finding the peace which comes from seeing things as they really are.

That's just my short definition. We will read together Kabat-Zinn's segment from the book, I'll share a few stories and then we can open the discussion. What do you think of non-judging? How do you use it in your life or where do you want more of this attitude? What does our culture say about judging?

Looking forward to a fun and lively discussion.
