Hi -
I'm posting this here 'cause I saw a discussion about mindfulness in this group a while back. Thought some of you might be interested.
A Mindful Life October 1-3, 2004 A Weekend Seminar with Dr. Ellen Langer
Most of us are stressed by day-to-day living, consumed by problems in our personal and professional lives. Our relationships, projects, and work never seem to go exactly as planned. Many of us are frustrated and unhappy, and others are just plain bored. Most of us have yet to reach our creative potential. Mindfulness opens us to life's possibilities through active generation of multiple perspectives and dynamic transformation of mindsets. It is a way to actively engage our world no matter what happens or how we feel. Over 30 years of research show that mindfulness can increase peak performance, energy, health and longevity, self-confidence, charisma, and creativity - affecting virtually all areas of physical, emotional, social, and professional life. Now it is time to apply mindfulness to your life!
Join Dr. Ellen Langer and members of her Mindfulness Lab for A Mindful Life, an intensive weekend course in the art of living mindfully. Through a series of interactive lectures, discussions, and activities, you will learn how to apply mindfulness to your health, your emotions, your relationships, your work, and all your creative and personal endeavors. A Mindful Life is for all who are interested in exploring the depths of their potential, and in creating freer more enriching lives for themselves and for others.
