This mindfulness meditation drop-in class is aimed at supporting the development of personal meditation practice. The class can be used as a support to existing practice, a starting point your journey or an opportunity to explore whether meditation is right for you at this time.

Mindfulness is a practice to help people understand, tolerate, and deal with their emotions in healthy ways. Furthermore, it helps us to alter our habitual responses by taking pause and choosing how we act. When we are mindful, we experience our life as we live it, moment by moment. Mindfulness brings balance to our experience, as we engage all of our five senses. Through mindfully eating we taste the food we are eating and appreciate it more. We recognize the thoughts we are having and develop skills to manage them more effectively. Consequently, we learn how our minds work, and we are better able to label the thoughts and feelings we are having, instead of allowing them to overpower us and dictate our behavior.

In addition, mindfulness has been shown to have a positive effect on our physical health. Research has shown that regular meditation strengthens the immune system and increases connections in the brain.

Breathe, Grow, Connect – Mondays at the Mindful Garden
Each Monday, we gather in the peaceful surroundings of the Mindful Garden to explore a different foundational attitude of mindfulness through meditation, connection, and hands-on gardening. After a short, accessible meditation and group reflection, we bring our intention into the garden – planting herbs, tending vegetables, getting our hands in the soil, and observing the natural world. This class encourages a sense of wonder, patience, and non-striving, allowing participants to slow down and grow alongside the plants. Whether you're new to mindfulness or experienced, this is an opportunity to reconnect with nature, explore mindfulness in action, and experience the grounding benefits of being outdoors. Sometimes the best therapy is dirty hands, good food, and laughter in the great outdoors. No experience necessary – just curiosity. Booking is required each week so we can prepare tools and materials, when weather is inclement sessions are held at the Mindful Therapies Centre.
