Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece
Mindfulness for Wellbeing with Michael Eales
Sun 9 - Sun 16 Jun 2024
This experiential course is an opportunity to go more deeply into Mindfulness. It is designed for people living busy lives: people with jobs, relationships, families, health concerns, obligations and hopes. The practice of mindfulness is the ultimate “user-friendly” return path to our original Inner Wisdom. It also provides tools for recognizing and reducing unhealthy stress and for becoming aware of our habits of thought and action. This awareness is the first step toward transformation. Using the body and breath as guides, we come to fully inhabit our lives, naturally releasing that which no longer serves us.
The course will provide a solid grounding in a daily, moment-to-moment practice which can change our lives for the better, by strengthening and freeing our minds to see things as they really are. Instead of being stuck in our habitual ways whereby we react to various external stimuli, we can learn to respond, responsibly, and to connect with the vibrancy of life within ourselves and the world around us. We will also build on this to explore mindful living – incorporating mindfulness in your every day life. Mindful Action and Conscious Practice help us have more aware choice of the intention we put out into the world, and our impact on the world. We will look at the transformational possibilities of Kindness and Gratitude.
