INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS

Workshop Description:

Discover the essence of mindfulness meditation in this 2-hour introductory workshop, designed for anyone curious about the practice and its everyday applications.

Together, we will explore:  

• Foundational aspects such as finding the right posture for meditation and integrating meditation into your daily routine. 
• Techniques like the body scan and breath awareness practices. 
• Common myths and misconceptions, addressing questions such as what to do with wandering thoughts and how to navigate physical discomfort during meditation.  

You’ll have the opportunity to practice these techniques firsthand, but rest assured, we will not be meditating for the full two hours—this session is balanced with learning, exploration, and guided experiences. We’ll also discuss how to bring mindfulness into your daily life beyond formal meditation sessions, making it accessible and meaningful in everyday moments. 

Take-away from the workshop:

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be equipped with everything you need to meditate on your own. Participants will also receive a set of pre-recorded guided meditations to support their journey.
