Course Catalogue

Within the broader family of meditation approaches, this online workshop will allow participants to discover or strengthen mindfulness as a very practical yet powerful way to develop present-moment awareness. The benefits of mindfulness can include improved focus, concentration, emotional regulation, and stress reduction. This highly experiential introductory course invites participants to practice simple techniques and exercises that can be integrated into day-to-day life and routines to contribute to their awareness and well-being. The workshop will therefore be based on a range of interactive activities, including guided and autonomous meditations, group discussions and reflective journaling.
