Introduction to Cross-Cultural Mindfulness - April 2023
Description
INTRODUCTION TO CROSS-CULTURAL MINDFULNESS
"Nature governs Nature. Nature fosters interdependence. Interdependence actively fosters interdependence and connection. Nothing survives in nature if it is fiercely independent or excessively dependent." - Angeles Arrien
This introduction to cross-cultural mindfulness is a framework that brings together universal principles that are common across many cultures to integrate us with our primordial selves.
This course centers on the foundations of mindfulness that are grounded on the breath, body, heart and mind. We will cultivate stillness, deep listening, and the ability to pay attention to present moment experience with a quality of mind that is alert, open, aware, and fully alive. We will introduce you to a universal framework that cultures from all four corners of the world understand to be fundamentally necessary to connecting with our direct experience of the ever changing flow of life itself. We will share Earth-Based Practices to experience the truth that can be revealed through our being in relationship with Nature. We will practice ways of tracking what is present for us, the visible and invisible. We will learn how to witness the mirroring of our internal and external realities through integrating a self-assessment tool to explore how we are surviving and thriving.
