Mindfulness Power Tools: Basics

Whether you’re new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, this 90-minute community workshop will demystify core skills that make any mindfulness practice more effective, flexible, and impactful.

We’ll cover power tools that are essential for practitioners at all experience levels, like anchoring attention, inviting awareness, and cultivating equanimity. These simple and versatile skills can apply to any meditation format – guided, self-directed, long, or short – and can support whatever you seek: inner calm, better sleep, stress relief, enhanced performance, personal development, skillful navigation of life challenges, or simply greater well-being.

The session will include guided meditations and practical instruction. Be sure to bring a notebook and pen for notes and reflection.

This workshop is intended as an addition to your wellness toolkit, and not as a replacement for other forms of professional support.

All experience levels are welcome. We hope you’ll join us!

Registration is required. Email publicservices@whistlerlibrary.ca to sign up!
