What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness involves learning and practicing meditation techniques that help you focus more on the present moment.

These techniques help create distance between your thoughts and feelings, so you can make more conscious choices about how you respond to difficulties in your life.

Becoming more aware of the present moment can help you gain more enjoyment from the world around you and understand yourself better.

Who is this group for?
