This course will include an in-depth exploration of mindfulness of the body as a path toward calm and connection to ourselves and others. Much more than just a relaxation technique, mindfulness gives us a new way to realate to all of our experience, with kindness, with interst and without judgement.

Each class will include guided mediation practice, teaching, and Q&A, as well as optional homework. The class consists of four sessions on April 3 and 17 and May 1 and 15.

Annie Colonna of Warwick Valley Prevention Coalition will host this event.
