Foundations of Mindfulness - Lennox Insight Meditation

Gabrielle & Renata are delighted to offer a Course on the "Foundations of Mindfulness".

Over 4 consecutive Thursdays: 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd April,
we will be diving into the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, by exploring the Body & Breath, Feeling tone, Mind states & Dhammas, to support your deepening into practice. 

How to Participate
There are two ways to participate:

1. Join the four-week Course ($20 + Dana/donation)
or
2. For more flexibility, simply drop-in to any session as usual ($5 + Dana/donation)

Sessions will begin at 6:15pm, and include a Meditation, Talk and group sharing.

We offer a safe and relaxed space, and everyone is welcome, from beginners to more experienced meditators.  

Buddha taught the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as "Ways" to establish our attention in the present moment. Using these tools of Mindfulness we can learn how to relate to the demands of being human and to re-discover the freedom that is always available to us.

In our experience, committing to a course can help build momentum in your practice and deepen your understanding of Mindfulness + Meditation from both a practical and theoretical viewpoint.

As we gain insight into our lives through meditation, we can bring more calm and clarity into our everyday lives.
