Awaken Joy: Mindfulness and the Art of Savoring
Monday, May 20, 2-3:30
Activity Room
Join Stephanie Speer for an invitation to cultivate the Art of Savoring as a simple and powerful practice for taking in the good, awakening joy, and improving psychological wellbeing. During our time together, we will be using the tools of mindfulness to come to our senses, by being aware and awake in the present moment, that we may recognize the delights that are available in the ordinary and the extraordinary experiences of our daily lives.
Stephanie Speer is an instructor of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and has been teaching mindfulness practices to individuals and groups for over 30 years. She received her Masters in Humanistic Education from Goddard College and completed her MBSR professional training from Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Her professional work and personal life has been informed by 35 years of meditation practice and Buddhist studies. As a long term resident of Ulster County, she continues to enjoy the beauty, serenity, and simplicity of living in this rural area which has helped to sustain her meditation practice and enabled her to enter the busyness of the world with greater calm and ease.
