Description:
Natural Awareness is an effortless, radiant, and spacious state of being that is available to any of us. While many mindfulness techniques emphasize focusing our attention, natural awareness invites us to relax our effort, broaden our attention, and become aware of awareness itself.

In this day, we will explore how these different meditation practices relate to one another. We will then learn simple, doable practices to access natural awareness in meditation and connect with our luminous, natural awareness in life.

The day is based on Diana’s new book, The Little Book of Being. Copies will be on hand for sale, and a book signing will be held.


Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
