A time when we allow others to take care of us with pampering as we also take time to take great care of ourselves.

WHAT IS MEDITATION? Meditation is a process of increasing awareness of your body, mind feelings, sensations and your environment and learning to create harmony and balance in your every day life during and outside of the practice. Meditation is not a so much a technique to master, as it is a re-orientation of the heart; a selfless act of love and surrender into the mystery and stillness at the core of our being. Meditation provides approaches that propel us into higher states of consciousness. It helps us transfers energy from the destructive process of twenty-first century stressful lifestyles, into a creative process. We directly experience how expanding our own awareness can help us transform not only ourselves, but also the world around us. Group practice in a peaceful setting builds and optimizes energy, is supportive and encourages and inspires home practice. It also allows you to connect with fellow meditators and fosters a sense of community. WHY MEDITATE? Because it is the best thing for wellbeing! It helps bring into consciousness, the driving patterns of the subconscious and unconscious that cause so much anxiety and suffering. As we get older the feelings and emotions that are naturally expressed through the body become increasingly unavailable to us with the effect of leaving us numb and alienated from ourselves. So everything we hold inside brings us unhappiness. Meditation is about re-discovering yourself. A chance to be intimate with ourselves. It makes you happier healthier, smarter and brings you immense freedom. It can and will change your life and the very sense of who you are. It is the path to the Awakened Self that is always there. People come to meditation for various reasons: to find a way to relax and reduce stress, to release the grasp of strong emotions, to experience freedom from the agitation in the mind, to understand more about how the mind works, or to complement their physical disciplines or their spiritual path
