Class Overview
Enroll in this 8 week, evidence-based course designed to focus on the experiential cultivation of both “formal” and “informal” mindfulness practices such as gentle yoga, mindful movement, and meditation as a foundation for the cultivation of psychological and emotional resilience that can be effectively utilized across the adult life span. The class starts with a required orientation held at Central Fellowship Hall, 3829 Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50312, on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 from 3:30-5:00PM. The group then meets once per week for 8 weeks for 2.5 hours. Group Meetings are September 5, 14, 19, 26, October 3, 10, 19, and 24 from 3:30-6:00PM at Central Fellowship Hall. (**PLEASE NOTE: There are two weeks during this program where we'll meet on a THURSDAY instead of Tuesday. These dates are: Thurs 9/14 and Thurs 10/19.) There is a required silent mindfulness retreat which will be held on Sunday, October 15th from 9:00am-3:00pm at Raccoon River Nature Lodge in West Des Moines, Iowa. Each participant is expected to complete assigned home practice on their own, such as meditation, body scan, yoga, the other 6 days per week for about 30-45 minutes per day.
