Mindfulness Starts Here!


Dear <<First Name>>:
 

News

Where did that Winter go! Not only that... Where did that Winter Issue go?

Congratulations to our participants who completed the M4 Program in January! We hope to see you at future activities at the clinic. This is late notice but we hope you can attend a Day of Mindfulness at St. Paul University on April 2 from 9:30AM-3:30PM. Information here.

We are also happy to announce the first Mindfulness for Operational Stress Injuries in Military and First Responders was launched in March. The next program will be in September 2016. Thank you to all the organizations and clinics that supported this venture!

Life's been hectic and somewhat chaotic here at the OMC since January. I was away on a 21-day set of retreats, one with mindfulness teachers Christina Feldman and Chris Cullen at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre MA. Feldman's writing are amazing and I highly recommend any of her books if you're looking for encouragement to keep your practice going. (Lynette)


Everything is Impermanent

OMC's Administrative Assistant, Hillary Dolan, has left for other opportunities. We wish her the best in her future!

Change is inevitable and the internal changes come with external changes as well! We are just completing renovations at the clinic which will give us double the space for the participants to enjoy the programs. The usual entrance will now be solely for M4 program participants and our private practice entrance will move down the hall just past the elevators. We are thrilled about this which has been in the planning for many years! For those of you who have been attending the program in the middle of walls being taken down, thank you for your patience! Here's a little preview.
