Have you considered starting a mindfulness practice, but aren’t sure where to begin?

Or thought you’re just not capable of quieting your busy mind or being in stillness?

Perhaps you’ve started meditating, but aren’t sure whether you’re doing it “right”.

If any of this resonates, this program is for you!

In this 6-week introductory mindfulness journey, you’ll be introduced to powerful practices that can support you in navigating challenging times and savouring the precious moments of your life. You’ll learn the basics of mindfulness meditation and how it can help you find stillness and clarity.

In an intimate group setting, you’ll learn various ways to quiet your mind and direct your attention in a deliberate manner to focus on the present experience of your body, mind, and emotions. You’ll walk away with practical tools to maintain a personalized, sustainable and nourishing mindfulness meditation practice of your own, even if you’ve traditionally found stillness challenging.

Curriculum will cover the following themes:

• Week 1 – Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation for Modern Life
• Week 2 – Tuning into the Wisdom of the Body
• Week 3 – Working with Emotional Highs and Lows
• Week 4 – Seeing Clearly: Working with Thoughts and Beliefs
• Week 5 – Wise-Heart: The Gifts of Self-Compassion
• Week 6 – Bringing Your Practice into your Life

Weekly classes will last 75 minutes and will include a short talk, brief periods of mindful movement, seated meditation, self-reflection and Q&A.
