About this Event
This Open Heart Living Workshop is an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, with a focus on leading from the heart in uncertain times.
We are living in a period of genuine instability and when stress, fear, or overwhelm arise, it’s natural to tighten, react, or turn against others and ourselves. But, this leaves us feeling deeply isolated, precisely when connection is most needed.
This session shares how mindfulness and meditation practices can open ourselves to greater ease, joy and connection. Not to make uncertainty disappear, but to acknowledge what is true with compassion and to anchor ourselves in the steady, resilient nature of the heart.
In this 1:45-minute workshop, we weave together mindfulness, basic neuroscience, psychology, and traditional meditation practices to offer a grounded and accessible introduction to Open Heart Living.
What We’ll Explore:
Living Mindfully
- What mindfulness is — and what it isn’t
- How mindful awareness helps calm the nervous system and restore balance
- The role of self-compassion and kindness in resilience and emotional well-being
- How to shift from reactivity to a heart-centred, compassionate response
Meditation, Made Simple
- What meditation is and isn’t
- Common misconceptions and how to do it
- The science and practice of how meditation supports clarity and compassion
- The breath as a steady companion — an anchor back to presence and the heart
Practices We Will Experience
This workshop is experiential and guided, offering practices, self-inquiry and intentions that can be carried into daily life:
