Drop-In Meditation Session: Attitude and Self-Compassion

 taught by Diane Hetrick

Monday, September 11, 2017, 6:00 - 7:00 pm 

CCFW is pleased to offer monthly drop-in meditation sessions. A different CCFW instructor will lead each month’s session so that participants can experience different mindfulness practices and instructor styles. These sessions are also intended to support participants from previous mindfulness courses in strengthening their home practice. All levels of experience are welcome.

About the Session 

Bringing a skillful attitude to our meditation can help enhance our self-compassion. The qualities of beginners mind, letting go, kindness, and non-judgmental observation can be cultivated during meditation, and make a positive impact on the rest of our lives when we are off the meditation cushion. This session will give you an opportunity to learn more about your attitude when you are meditating, and practice with these basic yet powerful qualities.

About the Instructor

Her more than 30 years of experience as a Physical Therapist working with patients with chronic pain and/or illnesses lead her to explore various body and movement practices, including yoga, dance and qigong, and to explore the area of Mindfulness meditation, in order to help people with stress, pain or dysfunction find more ease, and well-being in their lives.

She completed the Certificate in Mindfulness Facilitation training through the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center (MARC) at UCLA.
