GO DEEPER IN YOUR PRACTICE & HONE YOUR FACILITATION SKILLS
1 Day Extension Course for further enquiry and practices in all aspects of mindfulness for anyone who have taken the 2 day Mindfulness Facilitation Certificate course.
Some of the things we will cover during this day:
– examining mental behaviors and conditioned reactions
– cultivating deep listening
– anchoring in the body (throughout the day and in practice and training sessions)
– accepting what is without resistance to wanting a particular outcome
– developing the willingness to let go of anxious ‘holding on’ and learn to trust.
– being centred, present and receptive while running sessions

An opportunity to practice facilitation in a safe supportive place.
“This has been a wonderful course and I look forward to sharing what I have learned with others!”
