Mindfulness and meditation help us to live fuller and happier lives – focused on the present moment, not absorbed in regrets, plans or worries.
By practising mindfulness we creat stillness, from where we see clearly what brings us happiness and what causes suffering. With awareness, we can make positive choices.
Mindfulness is rooted in Buddhist meditation, with effects verified by neuroscience, and as such is open to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.
How do I find happiness?
Who am I?
How do I want to live?
Our Course Leaders are experienced practitioners immersed in the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh with a deep aspiration to share these teachings with others.
Together they bring a wide range of experience with backgrounds including teaching, creative arts, health, business and more.
They will support you in finding ways to bring mindfulness more fully into your life, encouraging you to look honestly at how you currently operate and to make adjustments to help you live more authentically.
“I’d never practised mindfulness with a group before and the experience of sharing a couple of hours a week was powerful and positive start to the way I approached the coming week.”
“The course is a gift – it made a shift in my attitude towards stress and helped me to achieve a routine incorporating meditation and focus on living in the present.”
“I find mindfulness and meditation practices less intimidating and am now able to draw on a range of practices throughout the day … I have noticed an improved sense of calm, perspective, and gratitude.”
“I enjoyed the emphasis on self-care. I also liked the clear guidance and instructions and the wonderful way the course led us through the teachings. I feel more in control of how I approach my life situations.”
