What is it? – Meditation
The aim of this course is to develop the ability to pay deliberate attention to experience from moment to moment, to what is going on in the mind, body and in day to day life and doing this without judgment. By developing this ability, people can feel more able to manage personal difficulties by responding to them rather than reacting.
Who is it for?
