This eight-week mindfulness course will be held on Saturdays from 10:00AM to 11:30AM** in NOMA’s Woldenberg Boardroom. Through guided meditation and brief exercises, participants will learn to develop mindfulness that will help them experience the present moment during everyday activities. Although no specific outcome is promised, participants typically report feeling more focused, more "in-tune" with themselves and others. In addition, research suggests significant beneficial effects in dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, chronic pain, and diabetes.
