Meditation & cultivating joy - in person workshop

Would you like to feel more at peace and find a sense of joy and purpose? Meditation can’t cure everything (or can it?!), but it certainly can do a lot for us. I am delighted to invite you to discover:

How being in the present can help us access joy in our lives.

Learn about the science behind why a scattered mind is an unhappy mind.
Practice guided meditation to bring focus and awareness to your daily life.
Learn to see the good and work with the negativity bias.

Experience connection with a guided Mettā (or Loving Kindness) meditation practice.

Details

This event is a 90min workshop, based on Mindfulness and Meditation practices. It's designed for anyone interested in deepening presence, compassion, and joy in their lives.

Part of the beauty of mindfulness and meditation: they are eminently portable.

You get to take this away with you after class and apply it in your everyday life!

This workshop will include a presentation followed by guided practices, written reflection, and group discussion.

Dive into practical exercises after learning how our minds work under stress, and why teaching our minds to focus can bring freedom and joy to everyday tasks.

This workshop is a stand alone atelier, suitable for beginners as well as seasoned meditators.
