MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

Mindful Biology mini-retreats are returning! I've scheduled two for the coming fall. Registration is not open yet, but I'll post the reg link here when it's available. (I'll also send out an email announcement, so let me know if you want to be on the mailing list.)

October 3 — Mindful Breath

Connect more deeply with your body and the tapestry of life! Taught by a physician, this class explores mindfulness of body and breath using a biology-rich approach. You’ll plunge into breathing via contemplative practices informed by basic yet profound concepts from anatomy, physiology and ecology. You’ll experience your body's deep vitality during meditations inspired by images of human biology and the living earth. This celebration of living will be supported by safe, welcoming group discussions. Arrive with curiosity and leave feeling deeply connected with your body, breath and world!

December 5 — Mindful Muscles & Bones

Uncover the power of your living, moving body! Taught by a physician, this class explores muscle and bone through biology-informed mindfulness. You’ll gain insight into your musculoskeletal system via easily grasped insights from anatomy, cell biology and evolution. Simple movement and contemplative practices will help you feel your body’s muscular and skeletal vigor. This celebration of living will be supported by safe, welcoming group discussions. Whatever your age, health, or limitations, you’ll connect with profound bodily energies and aliveness.  Bring your body to this class and return home feeling more awed, impressed and supported by it.

Both classes will meet from 10 am - 3 pm in the lovely new Center for Student Success on the Kentfield College of Marin Campus. I'm excited to try out one of the rooms in the new building. It's on the ground floor, has doors that go directly outside, yet feels quiet, secluded, and spacious.
