Mindful Walking
Through mindful walking we step out of automatic pilot and we intentionally become aware while moving in the room, or through the environment
Mindful walking is not about the destination, it is more about becoming profoundly conscious of what is outside and inside us. While we move we can tap into our inner stillness, and be present moment by moment.
Duration: 1 hour or 1 ½ hrs depending on the group needs. This workshop can be offered either outdoor or indoor depending on time of year
Everyday Mindful Creative Expression
This 2 hour workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore mindfulness by means of creative expression.

By doing so, they will also begin to establish the foundations for a daily, creative practice that helps them deepen moment to moment awareness and therefore better cope with stress, grief and physical pain.
Duration: 2 hours (this can be used also as an introduction to the Mindfulness based Creative Explorations Program)
