Mindfulness and Loving Kindness Meditation Practice at La Casa de Maria
At La Casa de Maria Radhule Weininger offers instruction and practice in Mindfulness Meditation. This practice facilitates moment-by-moment embodied awareness. This helps to develop presence and clarity and gives an experience of the interconnectedness and sacredness of all being. Inner calm helps to ease the stresses of life and to develop compassion for ourselves and others. No matter what spiritual tradition or path to emotional, mental or spiritual well-being you follow, this practice will enhance your journey. This is particularly true if you are a caregiver at home or in a helping profession, as this practice helps to respond more skillfully and with equanimity to present challenges. Alongside mindfulness meditation we will also introduce Metta or Loving Kindness-Meditation, an ancient way of cultivating our inherent compassion and affection towards ourselves and the world around us.
Radhule Weininger, Ph.D. practices psychotherapy and teaches mindfulness meditation in private practice and retreat settings. She started practicing in Sri Lanka in 1981 and is currently mentored in her teaching by Jack Kornfield, Ph.D. through Spirit Rock Center.

Every Thursday from 6pm to 7pm in La Casa’s “The Loft” there will be opportunity for Mindfulness and Metta/ Self-Compassion meditation as well as instruction. 1CEU per sitting MFTs and LCSWs offered
These programs are ongoing through the year.
“We often speak of mindfulness not only as bare attention but as affectionate attention. Woven into it is an orientation towards kindness and seeing deeply into the nature of things, which invites us to see how all is interconnected.”- Jon Kabbat-Zinn
