Host organizations may choose to subsidize some or all of the fee, or have participants cover the cost. Do we sit or lie on the floor? Most people sit in chairs but, if you prefer, you are welcome to sit or lie on the floor. Sessions usually take place in a conference room. Do I need to change out of my work clothes? There is no need to change out of work clothes, no special equipment...and no worries. What are the benefits? Participants of Visit Yourself at Work classes and seminars learn mindfulness by focusing on the breath, observing the phenomena of thoughts and emotions, and cultivating a nonjudgmental moment-to-moment awareness. These skills encourage mental, emotional, and physical health, and also form the basis for emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills (see Riskin citation below). |
What is the Starter Series? Our ongoing weekly classes start with the foundations of Mindfulness Meditation:
How long are the sessions? The ongoing weekly classes last 30 or 45 minutes, though those who desire to stay after and speak individually with the instructor are welcome to do so. Seminar and retreat durations vary—from one lunch hour up to a full day of sitting meditation, walking meditation, eating meditation, discussion, and interactive mindfulness games.
