Phil Blustein – One of the great gifts of mindfulness is wisdom. This implies not how smart you are but having insight into the truth of experience. In recognizing that all experience is conditioned and is an illusion this is the basis for a shift in the relationship one has with the present moment. This supports the ability to be present with non attachment in each moment. I would like to investigate the wisdom of mindfulness through various exercises and provide some techniques to use to support your practice.

Leslie Ellestad – Equanimity is the capacity of mind and heart to remain at peace, no matter what is happening. We will learn a practice that supports the development of equanimity. When our minds and hearts are undisturbed, we have more opportunity to respond in a wise and caring way. Our actions become more skillful, decreasing harm and increasing happiness for ourselves and others.
