How to install a meditation practice - in person workshop

If you are anything like me, there are plenty of habits that you’d like to change, some you’d like to give up, and others, like meditation, that you would really enjoy developing. But it’s hard to fit it into our lives. And sometimes it’s hard to just do it!

With that in mind, I have designed this 90 workshop where I will invite you to practice, reflect and strategise on how to bring meditation and mindfulness into your life.

Because it’s very difficult to make ourselves do things when we don’t understand their benefits, to install a new habit it’s best to start with context (in our case teachings + science) and then actually ‘doing the thing.’

The goal for our time together? To demystify what meditation is all about and give you a taste of how it can both support and enhance our lives. When we are fully present with our minds, we gain stability and clarity — doesn’t that sound good?

Details
This event is a 90min workshop, based on Mindfulness and Meditation practices. It's designed for anyone interested in deepening presence, focus, and spaciousness 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 and learn how understanding your intention for practice is highly beneficial when you want to make room for something new.

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

What my students say

• "I liked the way Anne drives the classes, it's clear, lots of reference, making everyone feeling part of it and always in the softest and kindest way. She makes failing and trying all right, no pressure is put on us. Her class feels like a safe place to learn and experiment."
• "Anne's teachings are clear and easy to apply/follow. I feel it speaks as much to the beginners than to the most experimented meditators."
