INtroduction to MIndfulness Meditation (6 sessions)

Mindfulness means paying attention from the heart, on purpose, in the present moment, with qualities like compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. Mindfulness teaches one how to live in the moment, no matter what is going on in a harmonious way. Mindfulness presents the opportunity to discover your true self and grow in self-knowledge and reduce suffering. Mindfulness is not a quick fix but a lifelong adventure. I invite you to check inside and see if your higher self-desires to learn this health and wellness practice. If so, then let the journey begin and may we set sail on an adventure of a lifetime!

Jan Bio: I
I am a mystic and have studied and practiced a variety of spiritual systems. I am a retired nursing professor. I taught Mental Health, Community & Global, Health, and holistic nursing. I have walked both the academic world of nursing and the world of mysticism with equal depth. I’ve created a bridge between the seen and unseen world that touches psyche, spirit, body, community, the cosmos, and ancestry all at once.

Presently, I teach & practice a synthesis of shamanism and mindfulness meditation. I lead grief rituals, drumming groups, practice Cowry Shell Divination, drum circles and drum and rattle making, home and land clearings, trauma integration, ancestral healing, aromatherapy, death & dying, and an entire curriculum for Mindfulness Meditation & shamanic practitioners. I am drawn to take pilgrimages and study ancient cultures health and spiritual practices like Peru, Egypt, tribal groups, and Scotland
