The hope is that mindfulness meditation will usher us into the territory of bliss and nirvana. Unfortunately, too often the experience is more like surfing the waves of a tsunami—ups and downs and distractions and emotions.

Is this just inevitable or are there paths we can take to help us navigate this sometimes wild ride? In this Mindful Meet-Up, we’ll explore ways to maintain comfortable postures, to return to presence after our mind has wondered off into no-man’s land, and to meet those waves of emotion with kindness and curiosity and without judgment. We’ll use discussion, meditation and journaling to examine ways to enrich and

deepen our mindfulness meditation practice.
