Mindfulness Meditation for Habit Change
Rewire stress. Strengthen attention. Create habits that actually stick. In this four-week course, we explore mindfulness not as a trend or a quick fix — but as a trainable skill grounded in neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience.
NOTE! Signing up for this event means committing to 4 sessions!
Habits don’t change because we “try harder.”
They change when we understand how stress, emotion, and attention shape behavior — and when we learn how to work with them skillfully.
Each 60-minute session includes:
A guided meditation practice
Accessible neuroscience and psychology
Reflection and discussion
Practical tools for daily life
More information is available here.
This course may be supportive if you:
Feel stuck in habits that don’t align with your values
Struggle with stress-driven behaviors
Want a science-grounded approach to mindfulness
Prefer practical tools over abstract philosophy
Are curious about how attention and the nervous system shape
behavior
No prior meditation experience required.
