Registration will open September 3rd.
We are thrilled to once again be offering mindfulness programs with Stephanie Speer.
To be alive, living on this planet, in this body, in this mind, we face many challenges
including a life that is filled with uncertainty. We are often unsure and fearful about
what might happen in the future. Understandably, we want to be safe and secure,
we want predictability and control. However this desire for certainty in the face of
uncertainty often gives rise to fear, frustration, worry and anxiety. Our time
together will be an opportunity for exploration, contemplation and application of
mindfulness practices to ease the grip of our disruptive thoughts and emotions in
order to meet the unknown with an inner stability, ease of being and greater balance
so that we may lovingly care for ourselves and enjoy the days of our lives.
As a trained instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Stephanie Speer has
been teaching mindfulness to individuals and groups for over 30 years. She
received her Masters in Humanistic Education from Goddard College and completed
her MBSR training from Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli of the University of
Massachusetts Medical Center. Her professional work and personal life have been
informed by 35 years of meditation practice and Buddhist studies.
