The "Practical Foundation" workshop is designed to provide the opportunity to devote attention to the processes that underlie Mindfulness and explore scientific findings related to mindfulness. This training is different from other programs in many respects by providing participants a better, more complete understanding of mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a lot more than a strategy to manage difficult situations. It is a way to cultivate a more balanced relationship to oneself in relation to the realities of life. Mindfulness can better be understood as a way of being and living rather than a tactic or strategy for life. It entails different facets and elements. By choosing one specific element of Mindfulness to study and practice on a weekly basis, we aim that gain a deeper understanding of the fulsome nature of Mindfulness. And have a greater success with your practice.

Mindfulness is not an exercise, is not meditation, is not something you practice an hour a week. Mindfulness is a way of living, exercises and practices (Formal or Informal) help us retrain our way of thinking and being, so we can live more anchored in the present. Living more mindfully. 

Is this course for me?
