“There is no commitment required. However, the more sessions that they attend, the more they will notice positive changes in their lives.”
One of the workshops participants, said: “It made total sense how making small changes to my life and my thoughts could bring positive changes”.
Each session runs for two hours, covering a different mindfulness topic each fortnight, guiding participants through meditation and working in time for group sharing and socialising.
