A mindfulness workshop series led by John K. Testerman, MD, PhD, associate professor, Loma Linda University department of family medicine, will meet once a week for 10 weeks beginning Wednesday, March 9. The meetings will be held from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m.
The theme for the series will be, "Starting an epidemic of joy: Using mindfulness to rediscover meaning and satisfaction in our work or study."
This group is open to all and will be a good place to learn mindfulness meditation. There will be time devoted to teaching, discussion and silent practice. Participants who are more experienced will learn applied mindfulness skills.
The series, which is offered at no charge, will be held in the Strutz Library in the department of psychology building at the corner where Anderson Street turns south in downtown Loma Linda.
Use the sidewalk entrance near the large electronic time and temperature sign. The Strutz Library is the first door on your left after you enter the building.
After 5:00 p.m. non-ticketed parking is available in the restricted lot on the corner. Parking is also available along the curb on Anderson Street by the entrance. Don’t use the building entrance from the parking lot as it may be locked after 5:00 p.m.
Go around to the right and use the building entrance from the sidewalk. Someone will be posted there to let you in until starting time. If you come late and find it locked, knock loudly. As we will need to start promptly at 5:30, please arrive on time; the group will dismiss on time as well.
