Mindfulness Practices for Self-care in a Stressful World

Join us for an experiential class on mindfulness. Mindfulness teacher, Heidi Whelan, will guide us through several mindfulness practices such as: awareness of breath and body meditation, body scan, and walking meditation. Information will be presented on how the brain perceives stress and how mindfulness can interrupt the fight and flight responses that keeps us in a reactive state. Group discussion time is built into the program so we can all share our experience with the practices. Spots are limited so register today.

Heidi Whelan is a retired Youth Services Librarian who is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Mindfulness Studies at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  She is a Kripalu certified mindful outdoor guide as well as a certified children’s mindfulness and yoga teacher who lives on a nine-acre homestead where she spoils her dog, mindfully tends the land, and photographs the natural world.
