DESCRIPTION: In these Mindfulness classes we will learn step by step to push the pause button on the busy mind and break patterns of stress and anxiety with guided gentle mindfulness meditation exercises.

Contemporary Neuroscience confirms what meditators known for thousands of years


In accordance with current poly-vagal and neuroscientific findings – that can measure the beneficial impact mediation have on the brain- we tap into the millennia old techniques to shift the attention at will from unhelpful thinking and come in contact with the stillness beneath the endless stream of thoughts and worries that fills up the mind.
.

Learn formal practices that cultivate balance, calmness, and focus across all aspects of your life. With easy-to-follow guided instructions, you can seamlessly integrate mindfulness into your daily routine while exploring forgiveness, acceptance, and navigating challenging emotions and life events.
Embark on this empowering journey toward mindfulness and self-discovery today. Join us to experience the profound benefits of a 15-minute daily mindfulness routine and embark on your path to sustained well-being and inner strength.

MINDFULNESS RETREAT

With Like-Minded People in a Beautiful & Natural Setting

LEARN MORE


Why Mindfulness?

Placeholder

Relieve Anxiety & Stress


In our fast paced lives, where we rush from one demand to another, there is very little time or space to stop and pause. Mindfulness offer the tools needed to connect with our inner intelligence, where we can access natural calmness beneath the busy minds.


Placeholder

Let go of Anger & Frustration


Coming in contact with your direct experience in the mindful state allows us to become familiar with the patterns that direct our lives; our thoughts, emotions and reactions.


Placeholder

Overcome Negative Thinking


Pain is an inevitable part of being human but suffering is optional. In mindfulness we learn how to manage our thoughts and emotions instead of letting emotions and thoughts manage us.

Placeholder

Stop Inner Chatter


Aimless thinking and inner chatter is draining our energy and clouding over the present moment. One of the most common benefits from regular mindfulness training is greater mental clarity and a new sense of inner peace.


Placeholder

Have Better Sleep


To be able stop incessant thinking and worrying is one of the great benefits of Mindfulness and it makes it easier to go to sleep and have unbroken sleep throughout the night.


Placeholder

Stop Living in the Past


Mindfulness practices increasingly bring you more into the present with the growing awareness that going over the past keeps you stuck in the past.
