ABOUT MINDLAB
MindLab is a down-to-earth, yet expansive meditation class. We will use 3 basic mindfulness meditation techniques - attention training, body-awareness, and loving-kindness - to explore a variety of topics such as compassion, relationships, grief, courage, and discomfort.
Whether you’re curious about mindfulness, looking to reduce stress, or you’re already a regular meditator, this class will spiral through various concepts and practices to explore the realms of "inner space."
Wherever you are on your journey - come learn, practice, and connect weekly in these interesting times.
MindLab can be attended as a 10-session series or on a drop-in basis; all levels of experience are welcome.

About the teacher
Hemant Bhanoo
Hemant is a father, meditator, engineer, investor, and founder. Hemant began meditating over 30 years ago; He sat his first 10-day-silent retreat in the Goenka/Vipassana tradition in 2007, continues to sit in that tradition, and goes on retreat whenever he builds up the courage to ask his wife for 10 days away.
He facilitated “Search Inside Yourself” (SIY), a mindfulness and leadership class developed at Google while he was an engineer there. Hemant then taught SIY to executives at organizations (governments, corporations, non-profits) worldwide. He also helped train mindfulness teachers and was an executive at SIYLI.org, a non-profit that makes the SIY curriculum available outside of Google. The Bhanoo family moved to Corvallis in June 2022.
