GROUPS AND GATHERINGS (Cont’d)
ASHFORD-MANSFIELD-STORRS-TOLLAND-WILLIMANTIC - Mindfulness Meditation: Free Mutual-Support Group - Do you want to explore Mindfulness Meditation in a community setting once per week or once per month? Have you studied with Jon Kabat Zinn or read his books, including Full Catastrophe Living? Would you like to quiet the mind chatter of the day? Looking for 4 to 6 people who would like to join in community once-per-week or once-per-month, to be led through a breath-centered mind-quieting experience of Mindfulness Meditation for an hour. No experience necessary. Looking to recreate the guided meditation experience created by Cindy Rutledge for 2 years in West Hartford in the 1990’s, possibly with rotating leadership. But if you are too shy to be a leader, don’t worry about it! Beth also has tapes to help get the group started. Please contact Beth if you are interested or have ideas for creating this experience on an on-going basis! Inner peace to all - email Beth at
beth@clutterworkshop.com or call (860) 232-3838 voice mail.

conscious humans in that cosmos; 2) Spiritual exercises designed to help you develop skills needed for inner work; 3) Hands-on experiences, through which you can learn to see, hear, and feel the spiritual world. This course is free of charge, as are all of our classes. Pre-registration is required for this course. When you have completed this course, you are welcome to attend our more advanced classes.
