听
听The Mindfulness Group is for students who would like to learn and practice being aware, present, attentive and focused.
Mindfulness practice involves paying attention on purpose with compassion, non-judgmentally, fostering kindness and
compassion toward self and others. (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2004
Cultivating Mindfulness by learning how to pay attention to present experiences "can directly improve the functioning of the
听body and brain, subjective mental life with its feelings thoughts, and interpersonal relationships". (Siegal, 2007)
