Kimberly Stewart, founder of and instructor with Mindful Michi, LLC, will present a free  introductory course on Zoom from 10 a.m. to noon on June 13 and 14 to give attendees a full sense of her nine-week Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) that she provides. Science of Stillness: Why Mindfulness Works will help attendees start reclaiming their agency, moving meditation from a vague concept to a practical tool for those navigating deep-seated patterns or simply looking to quiet a restless mind.

“Often, we feel that being ‘a mess’ or staying stuck in overthinking is a personal flaw, but it is really just a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert to keep us safe,” says Stewart, a seasoned practitioner with 13 years of meditation experience. “By understanding the neurological roots of these feelings, we can stop being so hard on ourselves and start the gentle work of choosing our responses with calm. We can train our brain like we train our muscles.”

CBRT, a comprehensive training method for anyone wishing to transform stress and cultivate well-being, can be highly effective for high-stress professionals in many fields; caregivers and parents; and those coping with major illness, childhood trauma, discrimination, emotional exhaustion or anxiety.

Topics covered in the intro course (regular cost: $250) will include the science of mindfulness, how to break the reactive cycle, guidance through a foundational Compassion Meditation designed to alleviate anxiety and a breath-work technique to soothe one’s nervous system in real time.

Stewart, a 20-year education veteran, specializes in CBRT following her personal recovery from childhood trauma-induced anxiety and depression. By utilizing Contemplative Science and neuroplasticity, she transitioned from a reactive, high-alert state to a life of grounded resilience, now guiding others to rewire their own nervous systems.
