- Mindfulness offers the chance to pause, to be present in this reality with gentle, open attention, granting us the freedom to engage with life more consciously.

MINDFULNESS - BEFRIENDING YOURSELF (DUTCH)
Embrace loving acceptance and compassion toward yourself and the world in this training.
Throughout the sessions, we'll explore the depth of self-acceptance and why it often proves challenging.
Our minds tend to be fragmented, leaving us unsure of our true selves or which aspects of ourselves to identify with.
This course consists of 5 half-day sessions on Sunday mornings from 10:00 - 13:00.
Each session will focus on a theme through meditation, contemplation and group discussion.
As the facilitator, I integrate teachings from Contemplative Psychology - merging Buddhist principles with Western psychology. My inspiration stems from the works of the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Eckhart Tolle.
