Mindfulness
what is it all about?
Our hurry-up, multi-tasking, autopilot world exacts a terrible toll on our bodies, minds and spirits. Bedside Harp’s Center for MindBody Studies & Practices presents a wide variety of offerings designed to promote wellness, reduce stress and facilitate healing for adults ready to transform their lives.
Studies
Since Biblical days and perhaps even earlier, the harp has been used as an instrument of self-healing and empowerment. For the past eighteen years we’ve taught nearly 1,000 people to use the harp for self healing and to heal others. All of our programs are mindfulness-based, which is to say that students are taught the value of presence as they learn to play for themselves and others.
Mindfulness Courses, Workshops & Daylong Retreats: Escape from the busy-ness of everyday life to focus on things that really matter in life—your relationship with your self and your relationships with others. We explore such topics as introduction to mindfulness, mindful eating, mindful living, cultivating compassion, finding forgiveness, managing anger and more. Held online and in various locations and individually priced. **Please note: Those taking these studies online must have a dependable high speed internet connection as well as a desktop or laptop computer with a functional camera. Tablets are acceptable but not preferred. Phones do not allow for maximum interaction are are therefore not acceptable.
