In this time of stress and uncertainty, CLAS is offering this 8-week program as a free benefit to the entire University of Colorado community. This introductory workshop will show you how to practice mindfulness so that you can decide if you want to practice it on your own. The facilitator will lead you through several standard types of mindfulness practice, including mindful movement, seated mindfulness, and compassion practice. Workshops are facilitated by Jeff Franklin, PhD, Professor of English, certified by the Engaged Mindfulness Institute as a mindfulness instructor.
