MAPs II: Opening to Joy
The latest science shows us that the practice of mindfulness leads to states of joy and well-being. Join us for a class where we focus on cultivating states of joy. We will explore what gets in the way of joy, how joy arises in meditation practice, and how to bring more happiness and well-being into our daily lives.
We will also learn the practice of appreciative joy—taking delight in other’s good fortune. This practice is an excellent antidote to jealousy and covetousness. The class will include guided sitting and walking meditations, lectures and discussion, and relational practices, which all cultivate positive emotions and greater states of well-being. Suitable for beginning and experienced students (see pre-requisite below).

MAPs II: Working with Difficult Emotions
Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression and anger. These natural human emotions can be a source of suffering that can negatively impact quality of life. Mindfulness has been shown to promote more states of well being and happiness and has been incorporated into a variety of clinical treatments for mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. But whether or not you have a mental health concern or simply struggle with the challenges of 21st century living and the anxiety, stress, and frustration of life, this class can support you in finding more ease, balance, and happiness.
In the class we will work weekly with each emotion, exploring how to bring mindfulness to it and include other approaches to working with it. We will also learn practices that antidote difficult emotions such as equanimity or balance, compassion, and loving kindness.
This class may be particularly relevant for mental health clinicians, but is open to anyone.
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 II: Cultivating Positive Emotions
In this follow up class to MAPs I, we will learn how to cultivate loving kindness, compassion, equanimity, joy, gratitude, and forgiveness.
We will learn new meditations to develop these qualities, tools to work with when we find them ourselves stuck and not feeling positive emotions, and practical exercises to incorporate them into our daily life. This is a helpful expansion to our basic mindfulness practice.
