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
Mindfulness for Beginners 1 & 2 are recommended for people considering enrolling in either our therapeutic or professional development courses.
