“Ouch!” Using Mindfulness to Ease Your Pain

Physical pain is an inevitable part of life. Suffering is optional. Using the practices of mindfulness, we can reshape our relationship with our aches and pains, and thereby improve the quality of our life. Coming together, we will have an opportunity to explore pain as a constellation of sensations be they mild or intense, unpleasant or unbearable, transitory or prolonged while being able to identify and disentangle the stressful thoughts and troubled feelings that often accompany our aches and pains.

Join us at Circle Home to discuss this very helpful topic and practice mindfulness.  The event is free, but we ask that you register below.
