Mindfulness for Work, Mindfulness for Life

​In today's busy rush of life, we can forget to take the time to pay attention
to the things that really matter. Our current ways of working and living have trained our brains to be fragmented and distracted, and this has resulted
in decreased happiness, increased illness and reduced productivity.
All of this has made it increasingly difficult ​to thrive.

Fortunately, there is another way.
And you don't need bells, incense or to sit like a pretzel.

Mindfulness, the practice of being aware of what is happening right now, in this moment, and exploring that awareness with a curious and non-judgmental attitude, is a skill that can be learned. Neuroscience and research are increasingly showing that learning and practicing mindfulness helps us to change old habits, opening the door to new possibilities.  

Our programs blend evidence-based practices with real-world practicality, delivered in engaging and informative workshops, classes and presentations. ​

Why Mindfulness?

Health & Wellbeing

The simple practice of mindfulness helps us to become aware of stress before it becomes a serious problem. Being mindful helps us to reverse existing habitual patterns of reactivity that lead to illness and learning new ways of relating to stress can help us respond differently. Research has begun to explain the hows and whys, but the health benefits of mindfulness practice are undeniable. 

Focus, Clarity & Productivity

At work and in life, the capacity to sustain attention is critically important to being effective and productive. Seeing the reality of what is present is necessary for optimal performance. With mindfulness, perspectives are widened and calmed, rather than being narrowed and frantic, and much like "mental hygiene", mindfulness clears out the clutter so that the day can be managed with more efficiency, clarity and creativity. ​

Happiness & Resilience

Mindfulness helps us to shift our perspective on challenges, allowing us to see them more as opportunity than as threat. Remembering that everything in life changes allows us to bounce back from setbacks more quickly. And becoming more aware of the pleasures in life allows us to savor them and appreciate the benefits of being human and alive.
