You’ll learn how to have moment-to-moment awareness of the present, so you can avoid being on "automatic pilot" and focused on the past or anxiously awaiting the future. This awareness of the present can help you respond rather than react to situations and cultivate a greater sense of calm and well-being. All participants receive a CD with meditation practices and mindful movement exercises, and are invited to a half-day Saturday retreat.
Mindfulness-Based Childbirth
Labor and delivery can be the most challenging part of pregnancy. You and your partner will learn how to use mindfulness – a moment-to-moment awareness – to work with the childbirth experience and tap into your inner reservoirs of strength and confidence. The workshop goes hand-in-hand with most childbirth education classes and is a great step toward learning mindful parenting, too. All participants receive a free CD with mindfulness exercises.
