A 4-week intensive introduction to Mindfulness. In this course, we will explore mindfulness from three key perspectives: (1) its Buddhist ethical and philosophical roots, (2) the development of a Western, scientific, secularized practice, and (3) our own personal experience with a variety of well-known practices. Classes will be led by Justin Whitaker -- Philosophical Advisor for Merlin CCC & Mindfulness Practitioner.
