About this course

This course helps you deepen your mindfulness practice and apply it in everyday life. Through discussions, activities, and guided meditations, you’ll learn to stay present, improve communication, and become more aware of your thoughts and emotions.

This course helps you bring mindfulness into your daily life in simple, practical ways. Through group discussions, hands-on activities, and guided meditations, you’ll learn how to stay present and focused. You’ll build skills to be more mindful when listening and communicating, helping you better understand your own thoughts and emotions and connect more deeply with others. You’ll also explore mindfulness through your senses—touch, sight, sound, smell, and imagination—using visualizations and meditations. You’ll learn how to balance your chakras to support your overall well-being and try a relaxing hand massage to ease tension and care for yourself.

By the end of the course, you’ll understand how mindfulness can improve your health, boost self-esteem, clear your mind, and reduce stress. You’ll leave with practical tools to support your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

What you will need to bring to the course:

A drink – water or juice, notebook and pen, a cushion and blanket or wrap, comfortable clothes.
