SAMPLE PROGRAM (instructions to participants)
Mindfulness meditation involves cultivating embodied awareness experience in the moment with curiosity and acceptance. In this session, we will learn some common tools to access these experiences and how they are helpful. We will learn two practices: STOP (stop what you are doing, take a breath, observe your sensations, proceed with your day), and RAIN (recognize, allow, investigate, nurture).
“Beautiful Book, Inside & Out. As a psychotherapist, I use mindfulness meditation practices in my professional and personal life, but was impressed with the concepts in this book which dive much deeper. The book is well designed, with beautiful graphics and QR codes which link to the author guiding meditations himself. What a brilliant concept to enrich the reader/learner. Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to deepen their mindfulness practice.”
“I thought Ari’s mindfulness presentation was fabulous and timely. Having worked at the Law Society, I think his work will provide great assistance to the legal profession. I’m happy to hear that it is an accredited program.”
“It was a wonderful introduction to mindfulness for me that had a good balance of background teaching and practice. Very clear communication. Thank you!”
“I learned a lot from Ari’s course. As someone new to meditation, it opened a window, and helped me appreciate the foundational principles of mindfulness. I enjoyed it immensely.”
“I truly appreciated Ari’s breadth of knowledge and ability to coalesce academic, traditional, and pop culture references in the teachings, making them very engaging. This was a great experience.”
“Ari blended a wide variety of meditation principles in interesting and engaging ways that I found really thought-provoking. His gentle and enthusiastic presence made the class feel warm and grounding”
