The best little city school in a megalopolis

Monday July 1st (12:30-1:30 PM) will be a special day with free vegan pizza and vegan buffalo wings (courtesy of Califlower Pizza).

Mindful Awareness (what Eckhart Tolle calls "presence") is the moment-by-moment process of openly accepting and observing our physical, mental, and emotional experiences without grasping/clinging, resisting/rejecting, or reacting with delusion/confusion to them.

Mindfulness, which the Buddha called smrti in Sanskrit and sati in Pali, has scientific support as a means of improving attention, reducing stress, boosting mood and strengthening the immune system, reducing emotional reactivity, and promoting health.

Drop-in sessions are led by Diana Winston, Dr. Marvin Belzer, and guest teachers (of UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, marc.ucla.edu  and uclahealth.org/marc/free-drop-in-meditation). Open to everyone.
