Neurodiversity-Inclusive Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is a practice that cultivates compassionate present-moment awareness without judgment. It involves paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and sensations. It can be easily modified to accommodate everybody.

No special equipment is required. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. A cushion or chair can enhance your comfort, but it's not necessary.

While sitting is a traditional posture, you can meditate in any position that allows alertness and relaxation. If lying down, be mindful of not drifting into sleep. Part of the class is experimenting and finding what works best for you.

You do not need to have your camera on. Many people find it easier to feel connected to the other students in class if they can see people, so you might turn your camera as part of building a sense of community.

Each class will include a variety of options for practice, modifications, and adaptations to make them more accessible for the widest possible variety of people. We will discuss why some practices might not be beneficial for some neruodivergent people. Students are invited to explore and adapt.
