Course overview
Course description
In this meditation course, you’ll explore different styles of meditation so that you can practise whichever one you prefer.
Meditation and mindfulness courses are a safe and supportive space for you to reflect and incorporate relaxation into your life. You will learn tools and techniques to practise at home. We encourage you to use journaling to document your thoughts as you go through the process.
Mindfulness courses also teach you how to recognise and accept your feelings, without reacting or getting overwhelmed. This practice is important for achieving mental calm.
If you would like to explore other calming practices after this meditation course, you may consider taking the creativity for calm course.
