Mindful Mondays:
A monthly practice opportunity for my graduates of MBSR & MBCT classes
Third Monday of the month, 6-7:30, an ongoing invitation for practice and discussion.
Here's what the emailed invitations look like:
Our last gathering in 2021...
Perhaps you find yourself like me, slightly incredulous that we're about to welcome the Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year.
There's so much there to consider, right? So close to ending 2021, and noticing what comes up when reviewing the year. Ooft... so much challenge, between the pandemic and the socio-political upheaval in our country and the world. Who doesn't know fear about where is this going? So much relinquishment, some freely chosen and some coerced... by circumstances, mandates, reluctant wisdom.
More than ever, my mindfulness practice supported me in not losing my mind completely as all of the realities of 2021 settled in.
And then, just as we reflect on what has been, we also turn to consider this new year. Not with tired 'resolutions', but with the possibility of naming intentions that can motivate us to show up, nurture our best self, do the things that let us know we are good enough.
I've come to appreciate Winter as a time that requires more care of the self, more attention to how to be safe and wise and embrace the quiet. Let's come together to nurture our hearts and minds by naming what's been helpful, give voice to what we intend moving forward, and practice both compassion and wisdom.
This Monday, December 20, 6-7:30, still on Zoom. Even if you've never been, or not for a while, or have fallen away from your practice, please know that all are welcomed warmly and whole-heartedly: it's a good opportunity to reboot/recharge/remember... because that is the essence of mindfulness!
And Winter 2022 classes! The schedule is on my website, and here's a flyer, in case you'd like to share it with anyone or post or have as a reminder.
Otherwise, please know that I look forward to our paths crossing, whenever that may be. I send Metta to each and every one of you, and Karuna for all the challenges to our tender hearts.
with love, Ruth
