    Mindfulness
    Off the Cushion

    Looking for help in your daily dance with suffering? Mindfulness is a simple idea, but can be very challenging to pull off in our daily lives, moment by moment.

     

    We explore what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of mindfulness: being more present in our daily lives and bringing more compassionate awareness to our relationships, ourselves, and beyond.
