UCLA MAPs Classes - Virtual
|
Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) are the signature educational programs of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC). These six-week class series are open to the public. MAPs classes lay the foundation for participants to learn basic principles of mindfulness, to develop a personal meditation practice, to learn about the science and practice of mindfulness, and to apply the principles in daily life.
Dr. Ali’s mindfulness class is a rare gem, not to be missed if you have the opportunity. I was profoundly moved by his class through his gentle wisdom, thought provoking discussions, and his ability to arouse our curiosity about the present moment. It was incredibly comforting to enter a space where I could be emotionally vulnerable and grow so much in my mindfulness practice while amidst a compassionate community of learners that he created and sustained in his genuine, warm hearted interactions with us.” - Sabrina A. (Long Beach, CA) |
