"We do these practices so we don't miss the present moment."
Sarah Powers
Mindfulness Workshop
- The Power of Paying Attention
Thursday 13th April | 6.30-8pm
Online | Free
​
As humans our attention is so often drawn away by worries about the future and past when we don't want it to be.
The power of mindfulness practice is that it trains us to see this unhelpful mind wandering and bring our attention back to what's actually right in front of us in that moment.
Mindfulness helps us to really soak up the colours of the beautiful sunset , or taste the delicious meal we have been waiting for all day, or to really listen to the person in front of us, rather than missing it as we so often do when lost in thinking. ​​

Important workshop information...
-
This workshop will take place on Zoom and I will ask that you have your camera on for the safety of yourself and the group.
​
-
You will need a private space (somewhere you can be alone and close the door) so only those in the group hear what others are saying.
​
-
There is no pressure to speak but there will be encouragement to share via your voice or the chat box.
​

The workshop will only be available to join live and won't be recorded.
