7:30pm - 9pm
Join Anna Davies, psychologist, mindfulness facilitator, yoga and meditation teacher for this 6 week journey.
In this 6 week immersion we will delve deep into the workings of our nervous system and use mindfulness based tools and principles to support us to effectively regulate our nervous system as we navigate the challenges of life.
Anna will blend her decade long exploration and practice of Mindfulness, Meditation, Self Compassion, and recent studies in Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Psychology into this dynamic and transformative 6 week course.
Each week, we will gather, sit in circle, drink tea and journey together through the rich, evidence-based, heart-centred practices.
Each 90 minute session will include a short grounding practice, followed by check in and discussion, theory with some addition practice, finishing with a 20 minute meditation and debrief.
You will be supported to take these practices and meditations into your daily life with "at home" practice support, including guided meditations to facilitate a daily home practice of meditation.
In addition:
This course is for those new to Mindfulness and Meditation as well as those who have previous experience.
Mindfulness is practice of cultivating an open, friendly, non judgmental awareness to your he present moment.
Mindfulness can be a really helpful practice to support us in responding to difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions. Rather than struggling with these experiences, mindfulness supports us to change our relationship to difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions so we can have greater freedom to focus on what is important to us. Thus, turning our attention to living a rich, full and meaningful life.
We live in a society and a culture that is increasingly asking more and more from us. Many of us feel challenged to keep up with this unsustainable pace of life.
We can lose contact with ourselves and lose contact with the people and the world around us.
Mindfulness and meditation are needed more than ever before.
As we find greater peace, space and stillness within, we have room to connect with greater openness, love and connection to the people and the world around us.
