A Series on Mindfulness with Neil Motenko
Monday, September 11th
1:30 - 2:30 p.m.

Neil Motenko resumes “A Series on Mindfulness” after a summer hiatus with a review of mindfulness fundamentals and an opportunity to practice together.  This will serve as a refresher for those who have attended previous programs and an orientation for newcomers to the series.  As always, a review of the fundamentals reminds us of the many benefits of mindfulness, for example, in dealing better with difficult thoughts and emotions, and with our ever-changing lives in a turbulent world; cultivating insight into ourselves and the human condition; cultivating kindness, compassion and self-compassion; and the many practical benefits of mindfulness in reducing stress, promoting mental and physical health, increasing well-being, and being truly present in the moments of our lives.  The session will be interactive, include guided practices, and cover how to integrate practice into our lives.  Each session in the series stands on its own.  Newcomers to Neil’s series are welcome at any time. In collaboration with the Center at the Heights.

Please call the COA at 781-235-3961 to register for this program and receive the Zoom link.
