Movement + Meditation Practice

​Worn out from the last week’s political rollercoaster, the time change, or just the general pace of life these days? Steal away 40 mins for yourself during the workday to drop into your body and listen to what it needs for right now.

​In this intro session, I’ll guide us in light movement and short meditation practice to build inner resilience and compassion for the days and weeks ahead.

​This offering is an introduction to an 8-week program from Nalanda Institute’s Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT). It’s an evidence-based method of training the resilience of mind, heart, and body we need to sustain lives of well-being, engagement and purpose in our interdependent world. It was developed and tested at the university hospitals of Columbia and Cornell, where it has been offered continuously since 1998.
