Mindfulness Meditation 6-week series
with Susan Weinschenk, PhD
Wednesdays 5:30 - 6:30 PM | Central US time
September 15 through October 20

Join us for this 6-week Mindfulness meditation class. It’s open to everyone, whether you are new to meditation or experienced. Mindfulness meditation is easy to learn and do. But don’t let the ease fool you – it’s a powerful technique for relieving stress, learning to relax, and training your brain to reduce anxiety and increase focus. Whether you want to learn to live more in the present or better deal with the stress of everyday life, this class series will teach effective techniques for improving your life skills and mindset.

In July of 2020, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. During the last year, my meditation practice was important and helpful for me both in coping with the stress we are all going through with the covid pandemic, and especially in getting through the cancer treatment. Even though I’ve been meditating for decades, I learned a lot more about meditation during this last year, and have added these insights into the class to make meditation even more accessible and relevant.

Each week we will talk about how to apply what you are learning, and we will spend time in actual meditation during the session. Here are some of the topics we will cover:
  • What mindfulness meditation is
  • How to meditate
  • How mindfulness meditation is similar to, and different from, other forms of meditation and yoga
  • Research on the effects of mindfulness meditation on the brain and body
  • The easiest and best ways to incorporate mindfulness meditation into your own health and awareness routines
  • How to use Mindfulness meditation to deal with anxiety, stress, life improvement, and coping with illness and/or pain.
Each session is an opportunity to learn something new and de-stress. The sessions build on one another, so it is best if you can attend all 6, but we can catch you up if you need to miss one or two.

When the 6 sessions are completed you will know how to practice mindfulness meditation on your own, and you will already feel the positive effects. All six livestream sessions will be recorded and available to you in your Content Library until the end of October. 

Wear comfortable clothing. Yoga mats, meditation cushions or other aids are not necessary, but feel free to use them if you have them.
