This course is for all who wish to understand and learn the Buddhist practice of mindfulness meditation (also known as insight meditation). This practice has the potential of liberating us from inner limiting and painful patterns and enable deep joy and peace fill our lives.

Mindfulness is a mental quality developed through the practice of insight meditation. It enables a direct and authentic contact with ourselves. During our mindfulness practice we learn to know what "is" – what appears moment by moment and experienced by our senses. By acknowledging and befriending with what "is"' we can gradually learn to contain all that happens within us, to deepen our understating of ourselves and the world around us and gradually live our lives with less stress and growing peace.

The sessions will support the daily practice at home and creating good habits of practice in our lives.
