All dates will take place virtually on zoom.

Timetable

Week 1 (September 15th, 1:00-2:30 pm EST): Mindfulness: Cultivating mindful awareness both inside and outside meditation. Guided meditation in which we observe the sensations in each part of our body, including painful, neutral, and pleasant sensations. We will also observe our mind’s reaction to painful sensations.

Week 2 (September 22nd, 1:00-2:30 pm EST): Mental and Emotional Pain: Alleviating the mental suffering that arises in the face of four challenges that accompany chronic illness and disability: the relentlessness of symptoms; the many losses brought about by chronic illness/disability; the demands of being a caregiver; and the isolation experienced by both patient and caregiver.

Week 3 (September 29th, 1:00-2:30 pm EST): From Self-Blame to Self-Compassion: Overcoming negative self-judgment and guilt through the use of lovingkindness and self-compassion practices.

Week 4 (October 6th, 1:00-2:30 pm EST): Equanimity: Learning to cultivate peace and well-being in the midst of life’s uncertainty and your inability to control most of what happens.
