Actions and Intentions

After completing MBSR or MBCT, many participants are interested in continuing their practice in community. This six-week alumni course is designed to support that next step. The course meets once a week for two hours, with home practice between sessions similar to MBSR and MBCT. It concludes during the week of the All-Day Retreat, which participants are invited to attend.

The focus of this course will be to examine the intentions that we have for our life, and how our day-to-day actions reflect and shape them. We will explore the conditional nature of our experience and how those conditions impact our actions and choices.

To support this exploration, we begin by cultivating stillness in the mind and body, helping us become aware of our habits and patterns. Even with an established mindfulness practice, some patterns are deeply ingrained, while others continue to shift over time. We are not the same person as we were a month ago, a week ago or a day ago. Throughout this course, we will draw on the four foundations of mindfulness—body, feeling tones, mind, and mental qualities—to deepen awareness of our experience.
