Description
This is a rare opportunity to learn mindfulness from two of the world’s leading mindfulness teachers, Dr Joel & Michelle Levey.
In this experiential workshop the Leveys will introduce you to a range of practices to bring greater awareness, ease and joy into your day-to-day living. Experience how mindfulness grows your capacity to be fully present in any situation so you can see more clearly your perceptions, thoughts and feelings. Become aware of others people's worlds and act with more compassion and insight. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the stress and turbulence of today's complex and fast-paced world, learn how to live, work and relate with a greater sense of spaciousness and flow and live your life 'on purpose'.
“Joel and Michelle Levey are presently engaged in work that has great prospects for bringing the inner sciences of human development and transformation to a very wide section of people.”
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama
