MAPs II: Cultivating Self-Compassion

Many of us struggle with issues of self-judgment and self-criticism. People of all ages suffer from painful thoughts such as, "I'm not good enough," "I messed that up again," and "I hate my body." Although these thoughts may feel overwhelming and intractable, we can learn how to work with and lessen them. Science has shown that you can actually change your brain through mindfulness and the cultivation of positive emotional states.

In this class, we will explore mindfulness practices to work with self-critical thoughts, and self-compassion practices to nurture kindness and compassion for ourselves and others. This class will include sitting and walking mindfulness and kindness meditations, periods of silence, personal exploration, and discussion to help cultivate and encourage more self-compassion. The material in this class is very powerful. We encourage you to have a consistent daily meditation practice before attending this class.

Pre-requisite: Attendance in any introductory MAPs I series or equivalent mindfulness introductory class with permission from our instructor. If you have not taken a MAPs I class at MARC, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

MAPs III: Reconciling Paradox with Mindfulness

The deep practice of mindfulness is filled with instructions and claims that often seem paradoxical:

Make the ‘effortless effort’.

In order to change, accept things as they are.

Mindfulness is a form of self-observation. Except, there is no self.

Sound confusing?

In this six-week course, we will explore these and many other ideas that often seem to be at odds with logic, and our life experience. Through explorations of poetry, science, short readings, and an in-depth look at Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, students will gain meaning and revelation while leaving plenty of space for guided practice and group discussion.

Pre-requisite: MAPs I and at least two MAPs II classes, or permission from instructor. If you have not taken these classes at MARC but have equivalent experience, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

MAPs III: Exploring Advanced Loving-Kindness Practices

In this new MAPs III class, we'll take a deeper dive into the practice of loving-kindness. There are many variations on how to do loving-kindness meditations. We can practice it in a way which cultivates concentration. We can use it on the spot or within meditation to work with challenging emotions. It can also be a practice which, similarly to mindfulness, can cultivate insight. Finally, it can be practiced as a facet of awareness itself.

Through lecture, meditations, dialogue, and guided exercises, we will deepen our understanding and embodiment of loving-kindness.

Pre-requisite: MAPs I and at least two MAPs II classes, or permission from instructor. If you have not taken these classes at MARC but have equivalent experience, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

MAPs Applications: Mindfulness for Adult ADHD
Part III: Resolving Distraction and Procrastination (5-week class)

Living with an ADHD brain in a Neurotypical system can be debilitating. But with proper Mindfulness training one can live a fulfilling and successful life.

In this class, we explore distraction and procrastination, which can cause much agony and disappointment in life. We will learn that there are benefits to distraction and procrastination and ways to develop attention and focus to be strategic and purposeful in life.

To strengthen and balance the ADHD brain, we learn about the three capacities in attention and the six faculties of focus. Attendees can evaluate how much development they have in each area and what aspects to develop.

Based on the instructor’s own transformation, experience, and expertise with ADHD, attendees will incorporate suitable daily Mindfulness practices that can improve all aspects of their lives.

While Mindfulness for Adult ADHD is an 8-course program and this is course III, it is fine to jump into this class without a prerequisite. Part I introduced Mindfulness for ADHD. Part II focused on Rejection-Sensitivity Dysphoria and Lack of Self-Appraisal. Other courses in this series may be offered in the future.

Pre-requisite: None- All are welcome

Cultivating Forgiveness (5-weeks, PRE-RECORDED ONLINE)

MARC has teamed up with Mindful to present a new online course: Cultivating Forgiveness.

In this class, Diana Winston guides us on a journey of forgiveness - a journey that includes forgiving others as well as ourselves. Diana teaches with empathy, kindness and gentleness, encouraging us to release the pain, anger and self-blame that we may be holding in our hearts to find a renewed sense of inner release and freedom.

You’ll learn how to:

• Deepen these ideas through formal and informal meditation practices that you can apply every day, for the rest of your life
• Transform pain and resentment into an abiding sense of well-being and freedom
• Understand forgiveness as a kindness to yourself, rather than an act of condoning others’ harmful actions
• Cultivate forgiveness for others, for actions you’ve done that have harmed others, and towards yourself

Pre-requisite: Mindfulness experience is a plus, but not a must.
