Mindfulness is an age-old practice of present moment awareness that promotes inner calm, clear thinking and an awareness of choices. This experiential learning will include an introduction to mindfulness and the practice of meditation. Learning to meditate is not difficult, but beginning a meditation practice on your own can be challenging. It is often useful to have some support and structure. This class is open to all Beaver Creek & Vail employees, it is a personal development opportunity and thus is voluntary and taken on your own time. The class will be taught by Caroline Sheahan who has been a practitioner of mindfulness meditation since 1999.
