Discover the benefits of meditation first-hand at this introductory workshop.
This three-hour workshop offers an opportunity to learn about and experience the basics of mindfulness. Mindfulness practices give us a way to get some space from the constant chatter in our heads that can be a source of distress. Mindfulness has been validated by research as a simple way to calm our minds and slow down our tendency to react automatically. It gives us a wider perspective on our experiences and increases the number of ways we can choose to respond.
In a single session you will:
• Learn very specific techniques to work with the mind and body
• Develop resources to help you feel more alive in everyday life
• Have an open forum to ask any questions you may have about mindfulness meditation and practices
Who should attend
The Beginners’ Mindfulness workshops are recommended for people considering enrolling in our therapeutic or professional development programs.
