Quiet Mind Weeks
“Wherever you go, there you are.” Jon Kabat-Zinn
Our beliefs about what will make us happy and more fulfilled, to make a change in the world, seem to point away from “here”. We are always going somewhere, internally or externally – shopping, cinema, a restaurant, the television or computer game, the Internet, magazines or newspapers, the latest spiritual or self-help guru, our partners, our worries, our fears, hopes and attachments – and so on. We are in motion, going after, seeking out, restless, never satisfied, never at peace. Quiet Mind is an opportunity to stop and settle in the “here and now”.

Mindful Body Weeks
Have you ever experienced this odd sensation, that after a day of working in the office, running from one meeting to another often grabbing lunch on the way, that your body feels like a stranger to you? It is numb and life-less? The feet feel a long way away, but the head is full …
Mindful-body is an invitation to you to come into a meaningful conversation with your body: listen, move and breathe without your mind running away or interruption. As each day passes you will begin to notice what you see, hear, touch, smell and taste has a profound influence on your body. The senses bring us into the present moment, into the here and now, into the only moment we have.
