Foundations of Mindfulness

Share

Research shows mindfulness helps with almost everything… but in practice, it’s not that easy, especially on your own. That’s why this is a guided 2-week series, designed to help you actually experience and build it step by step. 

Before each session, you’re welcome to join us for dinner. Starting at 6:00 p.m., we’ll serve a simple, delicious vegetarian meal. You can attend a single session or both evenings as a complete series. 

Even when everything is 'fine',there can be a subtle dissatisfaction underneath it all. Like you’re on a treadmill: constantly moving, but not really getting anywhere. Avoiding discomfort, chasing small pleasures… 
yet something still feels missing. 

This session invites you to explore a different perspective. 

This is the first session of a 2-part series, each evening inspired by a different book on mindfulness. 

We begin with Mindfulness in Plain English by Bhante Gunaratana. You don't need to read the book to participate. Everything will be guided and explained in a simple, practical way. 

The evening includes: 

• An introduction 

• A guided meditation (beginner-friendly) 

• Optional reflection and sharing 

• Space to journal or connect with others around food 

This is not about fixing anything, 

It’s about experiencing what’s already here in a different way.
