Beyond Distraction
Cultivating the Skills to Focus Attention

An 8-week series with Shaila Catherine and Kim Allen

Registration is required. Scroll below for tickets.

This course will follow Shaila Catherine’s latest book, Beyond Distraction, as we explore a traditional sequence of strategies for dealing with obstructive mental patterns. We can all develop skills that overcome restlessness, develop calmness, and free the mind from obsessive planning, worrying, fantasizing, judging, and dwelling in personal narratives. Participants will be encouraged to develop a mindfulness-based meditation practice, while exploring specific strategies for overcoming distractions, understanding the workings of mind, and fostering calm attention.

Readings: Please purchase the book Beyond Distraction: Five Practical Ways to Focus the Mind by Shaila Catherine (published in 2022).
