RE: Reuniting with the Kindness Within – A Mindfulness Workshop
Date and Time: Thursday, December 14 from 12:05-12:50pm
Looking to boost your well-being and experience more self-compassion? It’s easy to tell ourselves we need to be kinder to ourselves but how do we actually practice this? Join us for a short talk and 30-minute guided meditation where we will explore the practice of loving-kindness. Research has shown that loving-kindness meditation increases our empathy, compassion, and resilience, among many other benefits. In loving-kindness meditation, we are tapping into and expanding the natural goodwill and benevolence that lives in each of us. In this practice, you will learn how to access more kindness towards yourself and others and develop a deeper level of self-acceptance.
