John Welwood, PhD, and Jennifer Welwood, MFT
The Power of Embodied Presence
With so many distractions in life, our mind is often disconnected from our body. Guided by clinical psychologist John Welwood and psychotherapist Jennifer Welwood, we learn embodiment exercises and engage in psychospiritual inquiry and meditation practices that cultivate presence and awareness in the now. Grounded in the heart and the body, these practices help us stay present and unblock emotional and mental patterns that keep us from experiencing life fully. johnwelwood.com

Melissa Blacker, MA, and Florence Meleo-Meyer, MS, MA
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s renowned program at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, this retreat teaches us the basics of mindfulness-based stress reduction and how to apply it in our daily life. Directors of professional education at the Center, Melissa Blacker and Florence Meleo-Meyer, engage us in sitting meditation, body scanning, and hatha yoga, and guide us in practicing mindfulness in our communications and other daily activities. umassmed.edu/cfm

Richard Leider
Repacking Your Bags at Midlife
Discovering the Power of Your Purpose

Every life transition—success, failure, illness, divorce, retirement—requires us to unpack and repack our bags for the journey ahead. Led by Richard Leider, ranked by Forbes as one of the top five most respected coaches in the nation, we explore the transitions and questions that arise at midlife. We gain tools to map out our next phase of life, and learn to identify new maps, provisions and partners for our journey. inventuregroup.com
