Monday Mindfulness

We recognise the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Mindfulness and meditation is a way to go beyond physical health, to healing and personal growth.

Our Monday Mindfulness group is a compassionate, mindful community that comes together for shared spiritual practice with like-minded, supportive others.

As we each face our own inner and outer challenges, spiritual practices allow us to develop inner resources to meet these in a conscious way.

Using meditation, we can release hindrances and move beyond our old, dysfunctional patterning (samsaras) and notions of identity that restrict our happiness.

By embracing these limitations with compassion, we can focus instead on evolved qualities (bramaviharas) that cultivate true inner happiness and tranquility.

Over time, we evolve, transform, and reconnect with our authentic selves, and are able to lead a more fully conscious life – the gift of human life and our birthright.

“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”

—Thich Nhat Hanh

We offer a wide range of transformative practices. Mantras, chanting, kirtans. Pranayama breathing. Heart-centred practices. Kindfulness - mindfulness practiced with wisdom and compassion. Acceptance, forgiveness, compassion (karuna), loving-kindness (metta). Mindfulness – observing, witnessing the mind and the play of consciousness non-judgmentally. Finding tranquility and stillness within.Experiencing the interconnectedness of all things and a deep connection to Oneness.Together we share joy, wisdom, and appreciation.

The benefits of meditation are well documented and go beyond spiritual and emotional. It switches our stressed bodies from sympathetic to parasympathetic response, which helps heal and replenish.Meditation trains and rewires our brain to become more empathic, and apply our focus where we choose. It can also improve our relationship with ourselves and others.

Our mindfulness sessions are currently held online on a Monday evening, running from 6:45pm to 7:45pm.Sessions are free. Our practitioners embrace the spiritual practice of Seva – selfless service. If you’d like to offer a donation, it will go towards a selected charity.The best results occur when you commit to regular practice.

From here, she sought to integrate her spiritual understanding and commercial background to create and lead conscious businesses with meaningful influence.After becoming a mother, Carole found resonance in the Buddhist teachings and trained to be a Core Process psychotherapist at the highly respected Karuna Institute. She combines this deep understanding and compassion into her mindfulness-based psychotherapeutic work with clients, and to her mindfulness teachings.

“The spiritual path is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn’t true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.”
