SUMMARY:Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Clapp Memorial Library is once again offering a Mindfulness Meditation and Stress Reduction Awareness course. The eight-week introductory course starts on Thursday\, March 12 from 7:00pm-8:15pm and runs every Thursday through April 30. The course is designed to teach and practice mindfulness-based skills. Mindfulness meditation skills teach us to be fully present in the moment and\, when practiced regularly\, help decrease stress levels and improve general well-being and health. Skills covered in the course are gentle and free of judgment. Because each session of this course builds on the previous week\, we ask that you register only if you are able to attend all sessions. \nSign up here: https://forms.gle/mGhrxGTcd1D77ift6.  If you have any questions please email clapp@cwmars.org \nThis course will be taught by Magda Bechar\, a retired nursing professor who has taught mindfulness meditation skills to many groups\, including at the Clapp Memorial Library\, for many years. \nSessions will take place on the main library floor\, except for April 2\, which will take place in the Activity Room.
