Detox your mind with “The Mindful Life,” our new online course

Imagine what life might be like if you de-stressed and de-cluttered your mind. “The Mindful Life,” our introductory meditation online course, can lead you there. Our next session begins July 2.

Mindfulness has been clinically proven to offer many benefits, including improved immune response, greater feelings of wellbeing, slowed aging of the brain, and a reduction in the severity of chronic pain.

The Mindful Life is a comprehensive four-week course on mindfulness, combining the wisdom of the Buddha’s teachings with the latest research from neuroscience and psychology.

  • “This course has helped to rekindle the fire of mindfulness. I find myself spontaneously attending to something in the present moment that might easily have passed me by otherwise.”
  • “The other day, I realized while holding my 7-month-old daughter that my mind was a million miles away. I remembered the way I gently return my attention to my breath while meditating, and reminded myself to bring my attention back to her. This is very much why I wanted to take this course.”
  • “While meditating, I'm noticing that distractions such as a car door slamming or the sound of a siren don’t have to interfere with the relaxed state of my body and the keen awareness of my mind. This is exactly what I was hoping this course would provide.”

Former students receive a $25 rebate when they take this course as a refresher.
