Mindfulness Course – “Knowing Your Mind”

Continue your journey of mindfulness! The Mindfulness Course lets you immerse yourself in the possibilities of being mindful in your moment-to-moment existence. Through an eight week program, we gradually expand the boundaries of the field of your awareness until it is capable of holding the entirety of your experience in this moment.

It’s going to be a challenging but fun-filled exploration of the wildernesses of your own mind. Buttressed by the two other components of a balanced meditation practice – concentration and friendliness – you will grow to appreciate every inch of your momentary experience.

The benefits are legion. It is a skill that – once learned – you can practice anywhere and in any situation. When you’re upset, fearful or sad. When you’re happy, filled with love or utterly connected to those around you. When you’re experiencing (di)stress. All these things can be detected before your (or someone else’s) boundaries are crossed.

Three key points that will serve as guides for this course:

  1. Continuous perspective taking
  2. Letting go of attachment to thoughts, views and emotions
  3. Practicing with being happy at will
