It’s hard to read anything about stress these days without some mention of “mindfulness.” This course will introduce and expand upon the principles and practices of mindfulness as a pathway to a more peaceful life. Specific instruction in the practice of mindful meditation will be given, as well as in related practices designed to relieve the anxiety that so many of us experience today. This course is open to everyone, especially to those who tell themselves they can’t meditate! Literally ANYONE can learn to meditate. This is a how-to course, and participants can expect not only to learn techniques for moving from “dis-ease” to peace, but also to take away tools which they will be able to use anywhere, anytime. The process doesn’t end when the course ends.

Charlie Bradt has been studying and teaching meditation, yoga, and stress transformation for over twenty years. He founded a studio that has become The North Country Center for Yoga and Health in Canton, NY. His mindful meditation practice is based on the stress transformation program popularized by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Charlie has offered retreats, workshops, and courses in upstate New York, South Carolina, and Florida.
