This six week course offers a contemplative and deeply compassionate journey into observing how the mind creates, sustains, and reacts to its own experience. Guided by Lama Michael Gregory, this transformative training introduces the classical foundations of Buddhist mindfulness. Practices that illuminate how to watch your unfolding mental and emotional world non-reactively and learning how to respond with heart, skill, and

wisdom.

This program supports both practical emotional healing and the gradual unfolding toward inner awakening and true empowerment. This is developed not only through an intellectual understanding of mindfulness, but also a deeply grounded meditative practice. The course is offered in a structured, grounded, and approachable way that offers both short and long term meaningful changes to your life.

Led by Lama Michael Gregory, former Buddhist monk, Retreat Master, and Executive Director of Mindfulness Meditation Centers, this course presents Mindfulness as a practical path of understanding and insight.

This course presents a uniquely transformational approach to Mindfulness as a practical path of understanding, insight and deepened path and purpose. Mindfulness here is not offered as a technique, but as a transformative way of relating to your inner world and to life itself with awareness and insight. Ultimately, Mindfulness in Buddhism, acts like a raft that carries those who enter it, to the other shore of existence, which is free of suffering.

Staying true to the classical foundations, you will explore the essential domains of mindfulness: 

• Mindfulness of Breathing: Observing the natural movement of awareness of the breath, how it focuses, wanders, and returns.
• Mindfulness of the Body: Recognizing the body as sensation and direct experience, rather than identity or narrative.
• Mindfulness of Feeling & Emotion: Understanding how liking, disliking, and neutrality give rise to emotional patterns.
• Mindfulness of Thoughts: Seeing thoughts as mental events rather than factual truths or commands.
• Mindfulness of the Mind Itself: Becoming aware of the felt sense and quality of the mind, spacious, reactive, open, or contracted.
• Integrating Mindfulness into Daily Life: Each lessen includes, integration lessons on how to carry awareness into relationships, communication, work, and ordinary moments.

These practices create a clear, practical pathway toward balanced emotions, clarity of thought, and inner awareness.This course offers a clear, grounded, and progressive introduction to mindfulness as taught in the Buddhist tradition. Each week builds upon the last, giving you a strong inner foundation for emotional balance, clarity of mind, and daily integration.
