Koru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill.  During this class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills, including meditation for managing stress and enriching your life.  Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life, and reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past.

Stuart Johnston (class leader) is recently retired after 25+ years as a mental health counselor at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.

 It is critical that you are able to attend all four classes.  This Koru Mindfulness class will be intergenerational. We will be inviting 16 years and older community members to join the Fitchburg Senior Center community members allowing generations to come together and learn from one another.
