Michael Ciborski, (Class of 86 Mr. Belski/Sblendorio) will present a lecture “Mindfulness in Daily Life” on April 3, 7:30 p.m. Michael is a meditation teacher who lived and worked for 9 years with Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh to organize and lead meditation retreats around the world. This event, sponsored by the GBRSS Parent Association, will help attendees learn about practicing mindfulness in their own life. Mindfulness is a basic human faculty that brings awareness to the events of the present moment with the qualities of openness, equanimity, and clarity. Linked closely to the faculties of enthusiasm, resoluteness, concentration, and insight, mindfulness offers perspective free from judgment and bias. Through regular and sustained practice it can support stress reduction, mediation and conflict resolution, anger management, overcoming of prejudice, emotional transformation and healing, as well as healthy and intelligent decision making and creative individual action in everyday life. Mindfulness is an essential component of many spiritual practices and traditions although not always known by that name. The presentation is open to all.
