Where & When
Proactive mindfulness involves engaging with your body in a way that helps you be more present and effective in what you do.
This fresh perspective on mindfulness is informed by our practice of somatic psychotherapy. It is down-to-earth and oriented toward making changes in everyday life.
The course includes:
– 5 self-study sessions with guided meditations to help you internalize the process of coming into presence
– 5 live Q&A sessions for live support
– Optional peer practice group
Why take this course:
– To be present and effective when you need it (under stress, we do not rise to our best, we fall back to our level of preparedness).
– Practical tools to make it happen
– Live support to ask questions and deepen practice
5 self-study sessions and 5 live Q&A sessions
5 self-study classes, released every other week, starting January 23.
Each class includes a guided meditation and instructions. The class takes 15 to 20 minutes (on your own schedule). Class materials also include suggestions for daily practice (5 to 15 minutes, as it works for you).
5 live Q&A sessions on Zoom, a week after you receive class instructions. The 5 Q&A sessions are on Fridays from 12 to 1 PM New York time, as follows:
January 30 (with Serge)
February 13 (with Merete & Serge)
February 27 (with Serge)
March 13 (with Serge)
March 27 (with Merete & Serge)
Practice group: For those of you who want to, you can participate in a small peer group to practice together. We suggest you meet on alternate Fridays following the Q&A, but you are free to schedule it as you wish.
About us
This course was developed by Merete Holm Brantbjerg and Serge Prengel. Our work with somatic, trauma-informed therapies has enriched our understanding of mindfulness beyond what we had gotten from meditation and mindfulness traditions. We have come to see mindfulness as an action-oriented healing process that can be integrated into everyday life and help all of us engage more fully in our lives.
