Why Practice Mindfulness?
Most of us have a variety of good reasons that bring us to meditation--and yet even this powerful aspect of self-care can become rote. For this session we will be engaging in a simple co-meditation dialogue practice centered around this question Why do I practice?
Through inquiry with a meditation partner our responses have a chance to be heard, received, and reflected upon. It's not unusual to uncover a refreshed attitude toward practice or a surprise or two at what might be in the way of a more consistent practice.
Come to discover and perhaps be surprised. There's no right or wrong ways to show up, and all are welcome.
