This is a new secular mindfulness-based course focusing on the qualities and cultivation of wise awareness.
Trainers Akasati Annie and Karuna Hridaya (Dr Carolyn Drake) have drawn on their many years of mindfulness practice and teaching, as well as Karuna's background in neuroscience in developing this exciting new course meditation practice.
Why train in wise awareness?
Recent research is showing how wisdom can be used in practical ways in our daily lives, as well as opening deeper understanding on a more existential level.
The benefits can be found in improving our capacity to take a wider perspective, understanding our views and emotional responses to events and how this can help us as we navigate everyday challenges. Training in wisdom helps us to self-reflect more effectively, learn from our life experience, make better decisions, and be better equipped to manage change and uncertainty.
