Verity Sawyer has created this 4 week Mindful Awareness Meditation Course by blending the mindfulness principles of Jon Kabat Zinn with Buddhist teachings and practices, to create a beautifully simple and clear guide on remaining present amidst modern-day stress. You can expect to gain an insightful-yet-simple understanding of what mindfulness is, and how it differs from meditation. You will explore the basic concepts of Buddhism with a step by step guide to cultivate a simple, stable and steady practice. Self compassion and acceptance will be interwoven throughout the course as well as methods to train the mind.
This course will greatly benefit individuals who wish to better understand and learn how to remain more present. If you suffer from a stressed nervous system or an anxious state of mind, this will promote calmness of mind, patience and tolerance.
Verity is both a teacher and student of Buddhist concepts and Yoga, blending these teachings into her own practice. She has been a student of Zen Buddhist Monk and Physiotherapist, master Hamid Ebadi, for 10 years studying the concepts and practices of Zen Buddhism. She is a qualified coach, specialising in self-awareness, and is an experienced Yin Yoga Teacher. Verity has also completed an intense teacher training in mindfulness, as well as many other courses and silent retreats based on both Tibetan and Zen Buddhist concepts.
