SUMMARY:The Compassionate Self: Using Mindfulness to Discover the Joy Within
DESCRIPTION:The Compassionate Self: Using Mindfulness to Discover the Joy Within \nWhile we readily accept the imperfections of those we love\, we often judge ourselves harshly\, creating anxiety and blocking our own inner growth.

We will begin with developing a better understanding of the relationship between our thoughts and emotions and the role they play in determining our outlook in life.

Chairs are available but you are welcome to bring your own mat and cushion. You will also be given specific practices to engage in during a morning break of 15 minutes and the one-hour lunch break. \nAnyone looking to become more proficient in understanding how the mind and emotions influence how we identify with ourselves and the world around us will enjoy the many practical tips\, techniques and practice to enhance overall well being and establish a more joyful\, compassionate self-view. \nDate: Saturday\, February 21st 9am to 4pm \nLocation: St. Cuthbert’s Church\, 2 Bond St.North\, Hamilton\n \nFees*:\nEarly bird:  Member  $80 Non-member $100** Financially Challenged $50 \nAfter February 15th: Member $90  Non-member $110 Financially Challenged $60 \nRegister on Eventbrite Here \n*Fee includes a morning snack and drinks during breaks.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness Hamilton Fall Retreat: Exploring Four Mindful Awareness Baskets
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Four Mindful Awareness Baskets\nSaturday\, October 25th\, 9am to 4pm\nSt. Cuthbert’s Presbyterian Church\, 2 Bond Street N\, Hamilton \nJoin us for a one-day workshop with Har-Prakash Khalsa to explore four fundamental yet contrasting and complementary approaches to developing Mindful Awareness. Har-Prakash will guide us through a meditation for each approach\, followed by a discussion where participants may share meditation experiences and ask questions.  \nThe Four Mindful Awareness Baskets are: \n\n Naming and Knowing – This approach empowers focused attention\, enabling us to recognize and establish a steady level of mindful awareness. It is particularly beneficial for those who experience distractions during meditation or throughout their day – which is just about everyone!\n Nurture Positive – This technique focuses on finding\, creating\, and sustaining positive emotions and thoughts. It serves as a counterbalance to the negativity bias and distressing emotions we encounter\, and cultivates an optimal foundation for improving our behaviors\, situations\, and relationships and achieving our goals. \n Do Nothing – The heart of the Do Nothing technique is the ability to skillfully let go of controlling or directing our attention while remaining effortlessly aware. This can lead to a sense of freedom from our conventional\, limited identity.  \n Turn Back – This approach turns our attention back toward pure awareness and can lead to a deep sense of fulfillment that is independent of conditions.\n\nThe Four Mindful Awareness Baskets is based on a framework developed by Shinzen Young that organizes the methods of diverse contemplative traditions\, East and West. Sufficiently practicing and integrating these approaches leads to the following:  \n\nExperiencing who you are at the deepest levels. \nReducing your suffering and increasing your fulfillment.\nShowing up fully to your life and being of optimal service to others.  \n\nThis workshop is suitable for meditators of all levels. \nHar-Prakash has been teaching and practicing meditation since 1984. He is the creator of the Cultivating the Jewel of Mindfulness Practitioner Training Program and Retreat Guide\, based on Shinzen Young’s mindfulness system and psychological-relational teachings. \nYou can find more about Har-Prakash and what he offers at https://www.cultivatingthejewel.com. Listen to a Mindfulness Hamilton podcast with Har-Prakash 3 | Har-Prakash Khalsa by Hamilton Talks Mindfulness \nFees*:\nEarly bird:  Member  $80 Non-member $100** Financial Hardship $50 \nAfter October 18th: Member $90  Non-member $110 Financial Hardship $60 \n*Fee includes snacks and drinks during breaks. Please bring your own lunch. \n**Membership to Mindfulness Hamilton is $25 a year

SUMMARY:A Taste of Mindfulness  - A free introductory workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive one-hour workshop\, participants will be introduced to the basic principles of mindfulness and mindfulness practice. The content is grounded in neuroscience and psychology\, with practical tips and techniques that can be readily applied to daily life\, helping to improve mental focus\, emotional resilience\, and increase overall wellbeing. A Taste of Mindfulness is geared towards a broad audience. Prior knowledge of mindfulness or experience with mindfulness practice is not required. \nThis workshop provides a taste of Colin’s 8 week experiential program – The Art of Mindfulness: which is based on the world class Search Inside Yourself series\, developed by Google\, which is designed to help individuals develop emotional intelligence\, resilience and cultivate skillful mental habits by learning how the mind and emotions function \nColin De France (  mindfulbreath.ca ) has a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology\, minoring in Food Science from the University of Guelph. He spent the first 25 years of his working career\, as a senior manager\, consultant\, entrepreneur\, and business owner in the food industry. \nAbout 10 years ago\, Colin began a personal journey of self-discovery with an exploration of the practices of meditation and yoga. He has advanced teaching certifications in classical yoga and meditation\, and is a certified Thai yoga massage therapist. \nTeaching mindfulness evolved as a natural extension of his personal practice and formal yoga training. \nColin has conducted mindfulness workshops publicly and for large and small corporations\, as well as running workshops and yoga programs for underprivileged youth in his community. \nIn his experience\, Colin has learned that it is not what we do\, how we look\, or what we have that impacts the quality of our lives\, but rather the level of involvement and awareness we choose to live with. \nMindfulness\, meditation and yoga have been a major part of Colin’s journey and success. Giving back\, Colin’s desire is to share the tools and techniques for wellbeing with as many people as possible. \nPre-registration is required by getting a ticket at Event Brite .
