Breathe
Compassion and Heartfulness.
We all experience difficult and challenging times as we journey through life, myself included. My Mindfulness practice has been invaluable in giving me the tools to navigate life’s ups and downs with resilience.
Most significantly, my Mindfulness practice goes hand in hand with heartfulness and Self Compassion practice. In my view, Mindfulness is stronger and more effective when practiced with a strong thread of compassion and kindness.
This applies also to Mindful Communication, with Self, others, colleagues, clients.
Reconnect. Recenter. Relax. Reflect. Reperceive. Replenish. Refocus. Revise. Renew. Recalibrate. Recreate. Recharge.
My vision is to build a caring and diverse community of Mindfulness practitioners, sharing our weekly Breathing Space practice, learning, practicing and growing together.
I build my teaching upon the vast and growing set of empirical evidence and scientific studies. I keep myself educated and up to date with new studies and approaches, informed by the evolving evidence base, I integrate new ideas into my courses, but most of all I treasure the richness of inherent human wisdom and common humanity from sharing within the community of practice. We are all teachers, we are all learners.
“Be patient with all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves [..]– do not seek the answers – the point is to live everything – live the questions now –[..] resolve to be always beginning – to be a beginner.” – Rainer Maria Rilke Letters to a Young Poet.
My courses, and this community, are designed to be accessible and empowering for all levels, welcoming absolute beginners and those with experience, wishing to take things further.
I have personal experience of how trauma can manifest in our lives, and have studied and integrated many trauma sensitive approaches into my own practice and into all my courses. Your learning experience is held in compassion, kindness, patience, acceptance, and offers many choices so you can make your practice your own.
I hope to inspire you in building your own practice, and finding new ways of relating to yourself, others and life, and I hope we can all learn from your sharing your journey with us.
Knowing we all live busy lives, my vision is to offer you the tools and skills of Mindfulness, so you can gift yourself a pause, an oasis of just being in the middle of your busy day. You can reconnect, recenter, refocus, recharge, reflect, replenish, refresh, recreate, reperceive, relax.
I work online, connecting across the anglophone world, and in person on the Cote D’Azur.
