Instructors: Ginnie Gavrin and Aylene Wozmak
Format: In-Person at the Center

The Monadnock Mindfulness Practice Center will be offering an eight-week Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation course each Wednesday evening from September 20-November 8, 6:30-8:00pm. The course will explore a variety of basic meditation techniques that develop a calm and open-hearted approach to living through challenging times and circumstances.

The eight sessions will be geared specifically to people who have minimal or no prior experience with meditating, and would like to see how this increasingly popular practice might be beneficial in their own lives. The practice itself is simple, involving learning to pay attention, connecting the mind and body in the present moment.

Past class members have commented, “It was so much more than a class. It was a commitment to myself – a gift.” Others found, “It demystified the idea of meditation,” and “I found the meditations could be used throughout my day to help me cope with various challenges in a more positive way.”

The course will be taught by two facilitators at the Monadnock Mindfulness Practice Center who have each been practicing meditation for many years. Aylene Wozmak, now retired, had been a hospice nurse for nearly three decades, and has received training in Mind/Body Medicine through Harvard Medical School Dept. of Continuing Medical Education. Ginnie Gavrin holds a Masters Degree in Counseling. She is currently retired from her massage therapy practice.

Suggested donation for the course is $150. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds go directly to support the Monadnock Mindfulness Practice Center.
