Come learn about meditation and mindfulness.  Each week there is meditation instruction…. an opportunity to practice meditation and mindfulness with the group…. and a time for discussion and learning. 

Experience stress just dropping away. Feel what it’s like to just ‘be’ in your body.  Learn another way to be with thoughts and feelings, a way that allows you to watch the flow of the senses. The effort is well worth it.

One moment you’re ‘doing’, then you shift to ‘being’.  Nothing changes on the outside, nothing’s visible, but on the inside you know something important has shifted, right then, at that moment.  You might see your situation in a new light, or you might see new possibilities, for example.

I began meditating for the same reasons as many others: to deal with overwhelming stress. In my case, it was working on Wall Street 30 years ago.  Over the years I increased and broadened my practice, learning non-spiritual meditation, then a spiritual approach, then Vipassana meditation to deepen my experience.

For the past decade I have learned ways to make meditation and mindfulness useful for my psychotherapy clients.  This has been very helpful in a variety of circumstances.  Currently I offer an 8-week treatment for people who have had long-term struggles with depression and anxiety. It is a scientifically authenticated method that combines mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy.  I also facilitate a group of therapists meeting monthly to exchange ways of helping our clients with mindfulness.

What is your story? What brought you to this interest in meditation and mindfulness?

 Why not try out meditation now, come to me to renew your practice, or to advance your skills? 

This is a new group, so please contact me before coming.
