DISCOVER YOUR ANCHOR: Introduction to MINDFUL MEDITATION

We are the biggest, most active, and most inclusive MeetUp community in Jakarta…

…and we invite you to join us for this INTRODUCTION TO MINDFUL MEDITATION: DISCOVER YOUR ANCHOR. We will explore the concept of mindfulness and its benefits for reducing stress and improving focus in daily life.

Everyone is always welcome to join our events. Our community is all about creating authentic in-person connections in this urban jungle.

Come as you are... it’s the best version of yourself.

ABOUT THE EVENT
This event is for anyone who has never meditated before or has little experience and wants to step up their meditation game. You will learn what it is and how to do it from an experienced teacher who runs his own meditation courses (Simon).

You will also be guided to find your “anchor” when you meditate. Reserve your spot today and start your meditation journey with Jakarta Friends! The class is kept small so that everyone will have the chance to connect with the teacher and ask questions!

Benefits & target audience:

• Experience a full guided meditation in group
• Ask questions and connect with other English speakers in Jakarta interested in mindfulness
• No previous meditation experience is needed
• The language of the class will be English
• This is the perfect event for people curious to know more about mindfulness

We have organised this event before! You can see a few past events here:

• [Online] Introduction to Mindfulness

WE HAVE A MEMBERSHIP FEE. HOW DOES IT WORK?
Since September 2024, our community has a membership fee of 200k IDR valid for 365 days after payment. Membership fee is offered with a promo discount to first-timers, who can become members for 120k IDR/year. First-timers can decide to attend one event for free and see if they like becoming part of this community. Membership to both Jakarta Friends and Jakarta Creatives is offered for only 220k IDR/year.

Membership gives access to all events plus exclusive perks available only to paying members, like for example our Birthday Celebrations with lucky draw prizes for 1+ mio IDR! At many events, attendees can bring a +1 for free.

Having a membership fee giving access to all events provides much more value to members than having a ticket fee for single events! We guarantee to keep organising plenty of events. You will receive a full refund if the group closes down, or if there’s no event happening in three months.
