Mindfulness Matters

The six-week program using mindfulness approach will help you in developing new ways of living with stress, illness, life obstacles, or other overwhelming circumstances.

With practice of mindfulness, often described as compassionate awareness, it becomes easier to notice situations, thoughts, emotions and not be drawn into them. When we are mindfully aware of ourselves and our surroundings, we are fully present to our experiences, to others, and to our environment. The practice fortifies us to grow beyond feelings of victimisation, it grounds and nurtures us to make choices that reflect our true values, intentions, and concern for ourselves and others.

The six week program helps to start, or renew the mindfulness practice, or can be used as a support when going through difficult times. During the six weeks we will explore the philosophical concepts of mindful awareness, such as the beginners mind, loving-kindness, painbody, impermanence and interconnectedness, and love, not as a romantic notion but as a foundation and binding force of every life.

Every week we will meditate and discuss our experiences with the practice and the new mind-body concepts.

You will receive a set of instructional meditations to practice, a set of mindful activities, and a book beautifully exploring the fundamental philosophical concepts of mindful living.

Our groups are small, it is best to pre-register.
