Benefits to Attending:
- Past participants have reported improvements in sleep quality, immune function and chronic pain.
- The practice of mindfulness on a regular basis has been shown through research to promote not just health benefits, but improvements in relationships, work and leisure pursuits.
- Connect with other men and practice mindfulness skills, including meditation, biofeedback, guided imagery and self-discovery through art, movement and writing.
In my conversations both personal and professional with other men, I hear so many stories of stress, repetitive worries, the daily demands of being a partner, the pressure to perform at work. There is also a sense of isolation or pressure to handle it all on one’s own which can often lead to maladaptive strategies such as substance abuse and other unhealthy coping patterns.
During this group series we explore present day challenges, learn about the mind-body connection, and spend a significant portion of our time together practicing new skills.
