Drop-in Meditation Session: Mountain Meditation: Cultivating stability in the midst of change 

 taught by Joel Grow, PhD 

Monday, May 13, 2019, 6:00 - 7:00 pm 

CCFW is pleased to offer monthly drop-in meditation sessions. A different CCFW instructor will lead each month’s session so that participants can experience different mindfulness practices and instructor styles. These sessions are also intended to support participants from previous mindfulness courses in strengthening their home practice. All levels of experience are welcome.

About the Session 

We often feel ungrounded and anxious in the face of difficult emotions and life circumstances. In this session, we will practice the Mountain Meditation, a core practice in programs such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. This practice cultivates presence and stillness, helping us connect with our inner strength and stability in the face of internal and external challenges.
