Train your mind with mindfulness and experience the power of conscious presence. Mindfulness is about being fully present in the moment — something that can be challenging in a world filled with stress and pressure.
Neuroscience research shows that mindfulness training strengthens activity in the brain's prefrontal cortex, which regulates our emotional system, memory, and motivation. The front part of the brain is often underactive in various psychological challenges, and mindfulness can help change that.
In this workshop, we combine mindfulness theory with practical exercises and guided meditative experience. You will learn how to apply mindfulness methods in your everyday life. The workshop is designed for both those new to mindfulness and for those with existing practice.
