"We are all dangling in mid process between what already happened (which is just a memory) and what might happen (which is just an idea). Now is the only time anything happens."

Maitri Center is delighted to host Lacey Schmidt for a 4-part mindfulness series for adults this spring! Please consider joining her!

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment with curiosity and kindness. Even a few mindful moments can reduce stress, help us notice small moments of joy, and bring a little more calm into busy days. The good news is that mindfulness doesn’t have to take a lot of time. Join me for this 4-part series to learn simple ways to bring mindfulness into everyday life. Register here: https://forms.gle/M9g4F1yJLiH89GLC6

Join the Mindfulness Club for Kids!!

4 Wednesdays | April 8-29 | 4:30-6:00 PM

An all-new 90-minute "club" for experienced students in grades K-5! Experienced students include children who have completed at least one series of Mindful Monkeys or Mindful Kids through Maitri Center.*

Each week will include mindful eating of a healthy snack and a Zen-inspired tea ritual that kids LOVE co-creating together! It's a time of deep connection - to one's own sensory experience and to each other, practicing patience, generosity, and mindful speaking and listening in the process.

In addition, there will be mindfulness-based lessons, games, and creative expression. The atmosphere is joyful, wholesome, and nurturing.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to deepen their practice, meet new friends in a mixed age setting, and explore new activities together!

*If you are not sure if your child qualifies, please reach out.

Mindful Monkeys have been learning about different emotions, how they feel in their bodies, and ways to “make friends” with their emotions. Taking care of our big feelings helps us stay centered and clear minded.

The children came up with metaphors for their anger when it first shows up and after they make friends with it. These kiddos are so creative and insightful!

A new 4-week series of GENTLE YOGA at Oregon Senior Center takes place Friday, February 20-March 13, 10-11 AM! There are still a few spots left!

This series is geared toward women and men ages 55 and older who're looking for a movement practice that supports balance, flexibility, core strength, healthy breathing, and a calm mind.

No prior experience is needed. The only requirement is having the ability to get up and down from the floor with relative ease.

Everything is taught in progressions, meaning we build from a baseline and you get to choose where you would like to work. We move slowly and thoughtfully while still challenging our growth edge.

Cost for all 4 weeks is $48. If you'd like to join us, please register using this link:
