MINDFULLY EXPLORING EQUANIMITY
Mindfulness is the art and science of being fully present, blending intention, attitude, and attention through practices that connect the body, mind, and heart. Through mindful yoga, qigong, foundational mindfulness meditation practices and communication skills, the intention is to nurture a harmonious and holistic experience. The workshop will focus on the quality of equanimity and what it is and how it can show up in our lives, in a meaningful way.

Meaning and purpose are innate and integral to all life- whether it is a bacterium, a lily, a butterfly, a deer, or a human being. The main difference is that humans become conscious of the pursuit of meaning and purpose whereas the others pursue it unconsciously.
In biology, pursuing purpose and meaning in life is called Homeostasis. Homeostasis is striving for survival, well-being, and the desire to reach our peak potential.
Some think that life is inherently meaningless or that we have to create our own meaning and purpose. The many life traumas alienate us from our inherent purpose and meaning. The most universal and unrecognized trauma is social and cultural conditioning.
But it is possible to become aware of our inherent purpose, and as we follow it, we gain access to meaning and sustain it throughout our lives.
