Mindfulness and Meditation

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

Kate Lietz, a social work student at the Penn Memory Center, has created a weekly program of meditation and mindfulness. On Tuesday mornings, we will explore short 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.

We welcome all families and individuals affiliated with Time Out, Weekly Smile, and Penn Memory Center. Carers (caregivers and care partners) are also encouraged to join. We welcome all experience levels with meditation and mindfulness and will make the class accessible to those with cognitive impairment or dementia.

Schedule: The class will be live every Tuesday at 10 AM Eastern Time. The class will typically last approximately 1 hour. The class will start on Tuesday, January 18, 2021. You can join us at any time but make sure to RSVP!
