CLASSES + WORKSHOPS

Jung Center of Houston presents Transforming Our Fears and Living in the Moment Through Mindfulness, Saturday, September 24, 10am-4pm.

How can we best respond to the variety of contemporary circumstances that are catalysts for fear in our lives? The practice of mindfulness can help us build a solid place to dwell in the face of difficulty. The intentional cultivation of non-judgmental, present-moment awareness can help us awaken from our habitual mind states, understand reactivity to stressors, and address fear with greater clarity and creativity.

Research on the effects of mindfulness report that it helps practitioners reduce the immediate effects of stress and produces long-lasting, positive changes in their lives. Those who practice mindfulness have also experienced significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and a variety of physical symptoms.

This workshop offers a day of instruction, practice, and discussion, in which participants will learn how to foster the practice of mindfulness meditation and the intentional focus on moment-to-moment experience.
