Meditation and Mindfulness Summer Series

Click here to learn more about our Mindfulness and Meditation series.

Kate Lietz, a social worker at the Penn Memory Center, has created a new monthly program of meditation and mindfulness this summer, that focuses on techniques of meditation & mindfulness to promote well-being. Once a month on Tuesday mornings, we will explore mindfulness exercises that can be done in a group and/or solo when you are at home. In this group, we hope to build a community and a basic understanding of how mindfulness can be integrated into your daily life. Mindfulness practices and exercises can help ease your stress, calm your mind, and ground you in the present moment. Each session will include guided meditations, an introduction to mindfulness and meditation techniques, and a group discussion focusing on self-care, self-love, and acceptance.

We welcome all families and individuals affiliated with Time Out, Weekly Smile, and Penn Memory Center. We welcome all experience levels with meditation and mindfulness and will make the class accessible to those with cognitive impairment or dementia.

Schedule: This free class will be live on the 3rd of each month this summer on Tuesday at 10 a.m. EST. The class will typically last approximately 1 hour, from 10 to 11 a.m. You can join us at any time but make sure to RSVP!
