MINDFULNESS IN DAILY LIVING

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to our experience in the present moment without judgment. Living in this way enhances both our enjoyment of life and our ability to deal with life’s difficulties.

We are constantly confronted with difficulties that give rise to anxiety, sadness and anger or other distressing emotions. We face conflicts, losses and stressful situations at home, at work or in other relationships. Mindfulness helps us discover the wellsprings of inner strength and self-awareness to face life’s challenges. It enables us to deal with difficulties of life with peace and wisdom. This one day workshop offers inputs and meditations so that the experience can set you on your way to mindful living. This one day experiential workshop will introduce you to the tools for living life with mindful awareness. The meditations and exercises you learn are designed to help you to incorporate them into your daily living.

GRIEVING MINDFULLY

The death of someone close to us, the ending of a cherished relationship and losses of all kinds affect us in different ways. All endings, losses as well as major changes can lead to pain and sorrow. Instead of being depressed or soul sick, we can let go of our grief and experience freedom. This workshop offers you such an opportunity.
