Living Mindfully - 8 Week Mindfulness and Meditation Course

This 8-week course is an opportunity for you to gain a deep understanding of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as taught by the Buddha in the Satipatthana Sutta. In addition to these ancient teachings, you will learn to integrate contemporary wisdom practices into your daily life. 

Throughout the course, you’ll acquire tools for developing compassion toward yourself and others, learn to skilfully engage with difficult emotions and situations, and cultivate a kinder and wiser relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Whether you are just beginning your mindfulness practice or wish to deepen it further, this eight-week course will provide you with the techniques and tools to weave mindfulness into your everyday experiences—at work, at home, in family life, and on the meditation cushion.

Each week will focus on a different aspect of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, while also incorporating modern practices. You’ll receive guided meditations, reflective inquiry, journaling exercises, and home practices designed to keep you engaged and motivated throughout the course.
