4-Week Mindfulness Series: Exploring the Foundations of Mindfulness | Week 1

This 4-week series is an invitation to deepen your meditation practice through the classical teachings of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Each week, we’ll explore one foundation through a blend of a Dharma talk, guided meditation, reflection, and discussion. This offering is rooted in Buddhist mindfulness teachings and designed to be both accessible and supportive for modern practitioners.

Each session includes:

• A 30-minute talk on the weekly theme
• A 30-minute guided meditation
• 15–30 minutes of group sharing and discussion

Weekly themes:

• Monday, August 4 | Week 1: Establishing a Practice and Mindfulness of Breath
• Monday, August 11 | Week 2: Mindfulness of Body
• Monday, August 18 | Week 3: Mindfulness of Emotions
• Monday, August 25 | Week 4: Mindfulness of Thoughts

I strongly encourage attending all four sessions for the full benefit, as each week builds upon the last. Consistency helps deepen your personal practice and fosters a supportive group container.

**ZOOM LINK INFO**
Since I'm currently using Meetup’s free Organizer plan, I’m unable to create an official “online event” listing. I’ll be sending the Zoom link via direct message a day prior to those who RSVP.

RSVP is capped at 10 participants.

Looking forward to practicing with you!
