Introducing 6 One-day workshops on Mindful Living
Each of us has our own unique way of seeing and being in the world and the degree to which we are aware of this is related to our capacity to change, grow and develop. The Mindful Living workshops comprise a blend of up-to-the-minute theory and fun-filled practice, with a bundle of tools (practices, tips, further references) to take away with you.
While there is a developmental theme that connects and evolves throughout the six workshops, each workshop can stand alone with its unique developmental focus.
Who should come: leaders, coaches, parents – in fact any adult seriously interested in deepening awareness and the capacity to manage the unpredictable complexity and challenge of daily life with skillful ease.
