What would I get out of this Course?

As with any course, the more you engage with it, the more likely you are to reap the benefits. Our lives are so busy, time-poor and frantic. We are often desperately juggling the pressures of work and family obligations with day-to-day living. This course not only gives you valuable skills to help you become more present in your life but it will also give you much needed time and space to chill out and nurture yourself. Our centre is set on 10 acres in the beautiful Ferguson Valley, only a 30 minute drive from Bunbury. So when you commit to the course, you are committing to something even more important: yourself.

What is the course about?

The Foundations of Mindfulness Course has been designed to be simple and approachable for most people, bringing informal mindfulness practices and skills into people's everyday lives. Whilst the course has some meditative elements, the vast majority of the content is of a non-meditative, more practical approach. It is designed for real people, leading real lives who want to benefit from the skills of mindfulness without the formality of a meditation practice.
