Description
This workshop offers a brief overview of the classic instructions for how to cultivate mindfulness in ones life. This set of instructions is classically described as the “Four Foundations of Mindfulness”. The four foundations of Mindfulness can be generally described as Body, Feeling Tone, Thoughts/Emotions (mental activity) and Contemplations/Insights on the Human Condition (i.e. aggregates of experience, attachment, impermanence, non-self and beyond). Each Foundation is understood as an Object for our Attention as well as an integral element of the Human Experience. In this work shop we will explore both experientially and conceptually how to these four foundations present themselves in our lives and how we can practice with them skillfully to support our well-being and deepen our practice of awakening to each moment.
