Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to nurturing your mind and body. This special event will feature a thought-provoking lecture on mindfulness, exploring how the practice of presence can bring clarity, reduce stress, and enhance well-being. The talk will be led by Helen Hyun-Chung Kim, who is a Qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy teacher at UCSD Center for Mindfulness.
Before Helen joined the center, she worked as a board-certified psychiatrist in Korea for 15 years. During this time she witnessed suffering in the lives of her patients and felt a strong pull towards the field of mindfulness and self-compassion as a way to heal and alleviate suffering.
Through mindfulness she discovered a rich, grounding foundation for her life, filled with awareness, acceptance, ease, and compassion. On her journey of self-discovery and healing, she is witnessing, over and over, her growth and transformation as a human being. Helen is committed to sharing what she has learned with others who may be on their own journey of self-discovery and healing.
Following the lecture, we'll engage in gentle movement designed to align body and mind. These light, intentional exercises will leave you feeling centered, refreshed, and connected.
Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this evening offers a unique opportunity to learn, reflect, and move with purpose.
Come as you are—no special equipment or prior experience needed. Let's take a moment together to breathe, move, and embrace mindfulness.
