Mindfulness of the Senses: Intro to Meditation

Life’s beauty is ever-present. Train your attention to recognize it.

Your attention is your most precious resource. It is the bridge connecting you to the wide and wondrous world that surrounds you. Practicing mindfulness meditation, you engage and strengthen your attention. Incredibly, when we bring more attention to life, rather than heightening our commonly felt stress or anxiety, we find more moments of ease, clarity, connection, and well-being!

Join Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and Registered Nurse Brandon Everett for a morning exploring how practicing Mindfulness of the Senses not only can foster ease and well-being, but also enable us to find greater connection and nourishment with nature and predispose us to experiences of awe!

In this introductory workshop you will learn:

– What mindfulness is

– How mindfulness works

– Guided meditations for connecting with your senses

– The relationship between mindfulness, nature, and the experience of awe

 While this introductory class will focus on the topic of how practicing mindfulness of the five senses can draw us closer to nature, it also stands as an excellent introduction to mindfulness meditation practice in general. Bring an open mind and heart, and you are sure to leave with an insight or ‘aha’ that will positively impact your life.

Brandon Everett RN: Brandon began his professional career as a Critical Care Nurse in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit in Philadelphia, PA. The stress of the work led to anxiety, insomnia, depression, and finally burnout. Learning about and practicing mindfulness, however, had such a profound positive effect on his physical, mental, and emotional health that he resolved to become a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher himself. In 2017 he completed a 2-year, 900-hour Meditation Teacher Training with ClearLight Meditation Institute. Since then, he has gone on to share the practice of mindfulness meditation with thousands of people, from kindergarteners to graduate students, and in businesses, non-profits, and organizations across PA, NJ, and NY. Brandon balances the insights and practices of millennia-old wisdom traditions with discoveries in modern psychology and neuroscience. He believes every person is capable of learning and so benefiting from mindfulness practice.
