Mindfulness & Meditation
Everyday life is so busy and frantic and full of challenges and stress, that we have forgotten how to live a joyful life. We try so hard to be happy and we tell ourselves what we need to do or accomplish so we can achieve happiness – and in the process we often end up missing the most important parts of our lives.
We are offering:
Individual Mindfulness sessions
Group Mindfulness sessions
for all various age groups: young children, adolescents/teenagers, adults as well as seniors.
Group Mindfulness and Self-Care workshops
for Health-Care Professionals, Teachers, First Responders, Real Estate professionals and other professional groups & teams that would benefit from learning practical tools and strategies to be applied in daily life as well as in professional activities – developing stress-relief, effective communication, team cohesion and internal balance.
Please contact us for more details.
What is Mindfulness?
“Mindfulness is awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a sustained and particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”
~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
What is Meditation?
Meditation is the practice of turning your attention to a single point of reference. It can involve focusing on the breath, on bodily sensations, or on a word or phrase known as a mantra.
