Need Help Maintaining Good Health & a Sense of Well-Being throughout the Holiday Season?

We invite you to attend our upcoming program:  "Mindfulness Strategies for
Jonathan Foust 
  Transforming Your Relationship with Pain & Depression," led by Jonathan Foust, a senior teacher with the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC.

Most of us have heard about the medical research that demonstrates how mindfulness meditation can help reduce anxiety and improve health, but what is "mindfulness" anyway?  And how does it work?

According to Jonathan Foust, one definition of mindfulness is  "non-judging awareness."  But learning how to access min
dfulness when we're experiencing stress, pain, depression and other difficult states can be challenging. 

Through a short talk and brief guided meditation experiences we'll explore some practical strategies, not just for increasing our toleration of unpleasant states, but for actually transforming our relationship with them when they do arise.  

 

       DATE:     Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013

       TIME:      7:00 to 8:00 PM

       PLACE:    Dolley Madison Library, 1244 Oak Ridge Avenue, McLean

Following his talk, Jonathan will be happy to respond to questions. There is no charge for this event, but seating is limited, so we encourage you to pre-register.

Jonathan Foust, MA, CSA, is a founder of the Meditation Teacher Training Institute and former president of Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.

As always, you have our best wishes for your optimal health,
