Bill Epperly, PhD
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category
Fitness & Wellness
Event Overview
In this evening of mindfulness, we will explore our senses as gateways to mindful awareness of the present moment. You will come away with practices you can use to relax, center yourself, and enter into the exquisiteness of every moment of your life.
We will use classic mindfulness practices including mindful breathing, walking, and tasting to experience the depth and enjoyment that is “hidden in plain sight” within our days. You’ll explore practices including:
- Mindfulness of the breath
- Mindful tasting of raw chocolate truffles
- Mindful listening to music
- Mindful relating to others in sharing
- Mindfulness of the body through movement and qi gong
- Mindfulness of thoughts
My intention for the evening is to create an experience of “wholebody mindfulness,” a felt-sense experience of mindfulness that includes all that we are: bodily sensations, feelings, and thoughts – in a gentle embrace of mindful awareness.
Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for gentle stretching and bring a meditation cushion if you have one. Meditation cushions and a limited number of chairs will be available.
What to Bring
