Meditation is often practiced in stillness. When we practice mindful attention and focus it in our bodies through simple movements, we can open up new depths of awareness, a feeling of slowed time, and wield power back from the chaos of the external world and into our hands. In this workshop, we will practice mindfulness through gentle movement exercises, self-massage techniques, guided visualization, gentle partner work, and open discussion.
