Mindfulness Education for Balanced & Intentional living
Because of our increasingly overstimulated, distracted and fast paced life style a contemplative practice has become a necessity to cultivate a life that is centered, intentional and balanced. A contemplative path and practice requires skills, dedication and specific tools to create a lasting and transformative impact. We teach a cohesive contemplative path that includes foundational elements of meditation, yoga and contemplative eastern wisdom teachings.
What you will learn:
• Mindfulness meditation techniques
• Embodiment practices :conscious movement and posture sequences
• Identify intentions and align with them as a practice
• How to integrate foundational teachings from eastern wisdom traditions in your life
• Deep listening
• How to create authentic relationships
• What it means to self care
• How to commit to daily practices
•How to work with the ” pain body”
Who can benefit:
Everyone who:
• wants to live a life that is more balanced and less stress full
• is going through life transitions
• wants to live a life that feels more intentional and authentic
Formats:
• The Alchemy of Contemplative Living – 8 week course
• Mindfulness Facilitator Training : 4 weekends trainings over 4 months
• Customized programs for organizations, institutions and hospitals by request
Although we do recognize the potential of webinars in supporting contemplative education, we believe that the essence of contemplative education needs the spark and energy of live interaction (within a group) led by a skilled contemplative educator. In these vibrant and supportive learning containers, insight and transformation are accessed, processed and integrated in a way that webinars alone cannot accomplish.
