Find the tools to create your own peace of mind and clarity, with the support of Doug Greve, associate professor of radiology at Harvard University, who studies brain imaging and neuroscience. Participants will learn the basics of mindfulness-style meditation, including its benefits and how to troubleshoot common challenges. Instruction will include formal meditation and lectures on psychological theory. The theory is based on Buddhist psychology, but the class will be purely secular (no references to supernatural processes). At-home meditations will be assigned. Appropriate for any level.
