Cultivating Mindfulness

Once a month on selected Sundays, 5:30 - 6:45 pm

Members: $5

Non-members: $10

Instructor: Becky Nakashima Brooke

Join us to cultivate mindfulness through art, qigong, meditation, and sound healing in the Figge galleries. Practitioners will be guided to explore ways to meditate by being open, relaxed, and receptive. This event will be guided by Becky Nakashima Brooke who is a yoga teacher, qigong teacher, and sound healer. All are welcome. No experience necessary.

Surround yourself with nature while practicing qigong to connect to your body, mind and environment. Qigong is a gentle exercise. It helps to develop balance, coordination, and flexibility. Through movement and breath work you may find a sense of inner peace. Practice will conclude with a sound bath. Sound baths help to calm and relax you, making it easier to come into a meditative state of mind. You may want to dress in layers and bring a yoga mat for the sound bath.

Acknowledging the importance of life's final chapter, she recognizes the significance of this time and her mission lies in the commitment to offer not only solace but also compassion, ensuring that individuals are supported in their unique end-of-life wishes.

Offering a holistic approach to care that encompasses emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. “Through my personal experiences with death, I have been able to understand the importance of this position as an end of life doula. Death is part of life and unavoidable. I believe acceptance and celebration of a life well lived is part of a ”good death”. My wish for you is to support you in your loved ones in this most important time.”

Join me at Black Hawk College to learn more about my role as an end of life doula. Please see the class description below.

Learn about end-of-life doulas, also known as EOLDs. These dedicated professionals offer comprehensive, non-medical assistance and solace to individuals who are either preparing for or currently undergoing their end-of-life journey. EOLDs provide a wide range of services, including education, emotional and social support, spiritual guidance, logistical and practical aid, and continued assistance both prior to and following the passing. End-of-life doulas play a crucial role in augmenting and enhancing the care provided by family members and other caregivers, including hospice providers.
