It’s been a pleasure to get to know you in this new community, over the past few months, and I am really grateful to have had the chance to accompany a few dozen of you on your meditation and mindfulness journeys.
With sunny days and daylight savings upon us, it seems that only few people are keen on joining online evening sessions, so I have chosen to ‘sunset’ (a term I heard recently) a couple of these sessions until the end of the beginning of Autumn.
Having said that, I’m delighted to start offering a morning meditation on Thursdays, replacing the evening session. If the 8.30am CET start time suits many of you, I’ll start offering more sessions throughout the week. Feel free to drop me a line to let me know what works best for you!
In Land (aka IRL) workshops are returning this coming Saturday in Geneva. There will be more throughout the year, and some upcoming dates will be announced soon for Italy and England workshops over the summer.
Finally, an on-demand online course will be ready hopefully by the summer, for those who, like me, enjoy practicing in their own time!
APRIL 30 2022 – Meditation and cultivating joy
Would you like to feel more at peace and find a sense of joy and purpose? Although meditation can’t cure everything (or can it?!), it certainly can do a lot for us. I am delighted to invite you to discover:
How being in the present can help us access joy in our lives.
Learn about the science behind why a scattered mind is an unhappy mind.
Practice guided meditation to bring focus and awareness to your daily life.
Learn to see the good and work with the negativity bias.
Experience connection with a guided Mettā (or Loving Kindness) meditation practice.
This 90min workshop is designed for anyone interested in deepening presence, compassion, and joy in their lives.
Part of the beauty of mindfulness and meditation: they are eminently portable.
Dive into practical exercises after learning how our minds work under stress, and why teaching our minds to focus can bring freedom and joy to everyday tasks.
Ready to find some joy? Register here or email me for further details.
MAY 7 2022 – How to install a meditation practice?
If you are anything like me, there are plenty of habits that you’d like to change, some you’d like to give up, and others, like meditation, that you would really enjoy developing. But it’s hard to fit it into our lives. And sometimes it’s hard to just do it!
With that in mind, I have designed this 90min workshop where I will invite you to find your inner motivation, solidify your experience for self practice, and plan how to bring these practices into your life.
Reminder! It’s very difficult to make ourselves do things when we don’t understand their benefits. To install a new habit it’s best to start by getting context (in our case, teachings + science) and then actually ‘doing the thing.’
The goal for our time together? To demystify what meditation is all about and give you a taste of how it can both support and enhance our lives. When we are fully present with our minds, we gain stability and clarity, we find more resilience — doesn’t that sound good?
