SUMMARY:Take a Deep Breath: Drop-in Mindfulness Practice
DESCRIPTION:"Mindfulness ... moment-to-moment awareness\, which is 
 cultivated by paying attention in a specific way\, in the present moment\, 
 as non-reactivity\, non-judgmentally\, and open-heartedly as possible." - 
 Jon Kabat-Zinn\n\nJoin together in community for a gently guided 
 mindfulness practice every Tuesday at 12:30 pm. Mindfulness provides the 
 opportunity to intentionally practice being present and aware\, leading to 
 improved health and well-being in relation to all that arises in life. 
 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis weekly guided mindfulness practice is led by rotating 
 local teachers on Zoom. On the first Tuesday of the month\, it is offered 
 on Zoom and in the Monterey Public Library using chairs. Participants may 
 also join by phone. Guided mindfulness practices may vary weekly between 
 teachers\, from seated breath and body awareness to movement\, sound\, 
 sensory exploration\, and loving-kindness practices. \n\nZoom registration 
 closes an hour before the program. Registration is welcomed for in-person 
 practice\; however\, it is not required. Zoom access information will be 
 sent to registered participants shortly before the program begins. You may 
 register once and participate every week with the same Zoom meeting access 
 information. Attendees are welcome to arrive and leave at any time. 
 \n\nTake a breath for our well-being and share this intentional practice of 
 cultivating awareness and connection. Together\, we can create a kinder\, 
 more loving world!\n\n\n\n\n\nWeekly Schedule    Unforeseen circumstances
