2020: Mindfulness meditation session - Cancelled

Description:

In these uncertain times, there has never been a more important moment to practice mindfulness - i.e. to be aware of the behaviour of our own minds, and to relate to ourselves and others with clarity, patience and kindness. 


Mindfulness meditation is a practice of focusing the mind on our present moment experience. By opening to the breath and sensations, we learn to be where we are and with what is. Over time, this practice

reduces stress, improves focus and promotes deep rest of the body and mind.

 

These free online sessions are open to any staff or students interested in meditation (beginners welcome). Over the weeks, I'll be guiding through a series of simple meditation and deep relaxation practices. There will be opportunities for Q&A at the end of each session. You will need a chair or cushion to sit on, or a mat if you prefer to lay down.

 

Join our community of meditators as we weather this storm together.

A Zoom link will be emailed the participants on the day of the session.
