Eight 1&1/2 hour group sessions

 Mindfulness practice is a wonderful opportunity to “wake up” to your life and to encounter emotions, thoughts in the mind and sensations in the body with curiosity and non-judgment.

Dr. Pamela Cappetta, LPC, LMFT, will be offering an eight-week mindfulness group experience to explore your struggles, joys, confusion, depression and anxiety through the lens of mindfulness. She will teach you a variety of mindfulness practices for inclusion in your daily life.

Mindfulness—waking up to what is—is a non-judging awareness in the present moment.  Mindfulness arises when you pay attention on purpose in a way that is friendly and non-interfering.  It is possible to develop and to bring mindfulness into all activities of daily life, both internal and external.

Paying attention on purpose, carefully and with sensitivity, can be done as a formal meditation, or informally, as a way of noticing the flow of your daily life.  The benefits of mindfulness include lowering stress and increasing calmness in the mind and the body.  Developing insight and wisdom into the habits of judging, thinking and reacting that are at the core of stress reactions will be addressed.  Ultimately, by becoming more mindful, you will learn to make stronger and deeper contact with the moments of your life.  The growing medical research suggests that mindfulness developed as a meditation skill and practiced daily offers benefits that impact both psychological and physical conditions.

Each group will be limited to 8-10 people and each person is requested to commit to attending each session. High levels of confidentiality will be expected and a commitment to daily practice outside the group will be a piece of the commitment to the mindfulness training.

Please arrive early to find your seat and settle in.  You may bring beverages into the group room.  Please do not wear any perfumes or fragrances (lotions, hair products, etc.) due to the sensitivity of some of the group members.

   When:  Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00pm

    Dates: June 25-August 13, 2013

    Cost: $280.00 (check or cash)

Dear Pamela Cappetta,

Each year the Marquis Who’s Who staff researches people from all walks of life who merit inclusion in Who’s Who in America. Beginning with the inaugural edition in 1899, which featured such luminaries as John D. Rockefeller, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Theodore Roosevelt, Who’s Who in America has consistently represented the most current snapshot available of the professional and cultural landscape of the country.

Here are just a few of the new notables you’ll find in the new 2013 edition:

Sofía Vergara, multiple award-winning star of the hit sitcom Modern Family and highest paid actress on television. Recently named a brand ambassador for CoverGirl.

Robert Griffin III, winner of the 2011 Heisman Trophy and current starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins. First rookie quarterback in NFL history to be named Offensive Player of the Week in his debut.

Janet Wolfenbarger, commander of the United States Air Force Materiel Command and the first female to become a four-star general in the USAF.

Sara Ganim, crime reporter who broke the story of the Penn State scandal, for which she received numerous awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting.

Neal Kwatra, chief of staff to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Named one of 2012′s 40 Under 40 and 25 People to Watch by Crain’s New York Business.

Téa Obreht, author who became the youngest person to receive the presitigious Orange Prize for Fiction for her critically acclaimed debut novel, The Tiger’s Wife.

Michel Hazanavicius, filmmaker who won the Academy Award for Best Director for 2011′s The Artist, which also became the first silent film to win Best Picture since the inaugural Academy Awards in 1929.

We are proud to have you as part of the Marquis Who’s Who family and to welcome you into this edition of Who’s Who in America. On behalf of our entire team, I’d like to wish you the best of luck for your continued success.

Sincerely,

Fred Marks
