Nourishing Resilience: Mindfulness for Real Life

Nourishing Resilience is a heartfelt 5-week mindfulness program designed to help you meet life's challenges with greater clarity, warmth, and ease. Rooted in the profound wisdom of the Buddhist tradition and enriched by contemporary insights from neuroscience and trauma-informed practices, this course offers gentle yet powerful tools to cultivate deeper emotional resilience and inner well-being.

At the heart of this journey lie the Four Immeasurables—known in Buddhism as the Brahma-Viharas:

• Karuna (Compassion): Embracing suffering with kindness and courage, transforming our relationship with our own pain and the pain of others.

• Mudita (Sympathetic Joy): Cultivating genuine happiness for the successes and joy experienced by ourselves and those around us.

• Metta (Lovingkindness): Developing unconditional friendliness and goodwill toward ourselves and all beings, softening our hearts to foster meaningful connections.

• Upeksha (Equanimity): Finding centre amidst life’s inevitable ups and downs by nurturing a calm and embodied presence.

What to Expect

This program is perfect for anyone curious about mindfulness and eager to learn practical, embodied practices that foster resilience, emotional intelligence, and a more compassionate relationship with self and others.

What's Included:

• 5 Weekly Pre-recorded Video Lessons: Each week, you'll receive a thoughtfully crafted video lesson introducing the theme and mindfulness practice for the week, designed to gently integrate these teachings into your daily life.
• 5 Live Classes via Zoom: Join me each week for a nourishing 1-hour live practice session, where you'll receive direct guidance, deepen your understanding, and have space to ask questions. All sessions will be recorded, offering you flexibility if you cannot attend live.

Together, we'll explore ancient teachings in accessible ways, creating a supportive space to cultivate resilience and nurture your heart’s innate wisdom. Join me in weaving a path of mindfulness, compassion, and lasting inner strength.
