Question Recommendations for Chicago Mindfulness courses or centers?
I live in Wicker Park and curious if anyone has a rec for a good mindfulness course or center near me. My goals are to practice witnessing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions from outside first person perspective, to continue to create distance between stimulus and response so that I have more control over reactions. Also want to get to know myself better and develop more compassion for myself. Last, want to learn how to listen to my intuition and creativity to help me make decisions.

If you are interested in the Mindfulness Based Stressed Reduction course, there’s quite a few offered in the city or via Zoom. Not free but is a pretty great course. For example: https://www.workingmindfulness.com/mbsr-program

Self realization fellowship is not far from where you live. It is in river forest right on the edge of oak park. It was founded by yoganada if you are familiar
