What: During this April session, we will meet around a wood campfire and explore body sensations, thoughts, emotions and feelings, while next to our long time, primal companion: fire.
Mindfulness: Mindfulness is paying attention to one’s thoughts, body sensations, emotions and surroundings without judgement. Mindfulness can be used for many reasons, from better physical health to better mental health to improved relationships with one’s self and others.
Our meetings will include discussions and short mindfulness exercises/practices. We will explore sitting, standing, lying down, and moving mindfulness experiences.
“Without judgement” is one of the main principles of mindfulness and we will incorporate non-judgmentalness into our time together. Everyone is welcome from beginners to the experienced. No judgements.
