- **Event Description**: Experience mindfulness and meditation to cultivate living with an open heart in difficult times.About this EventThis Open Heart Living Workshop is an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, with a focus on leading from the heart in uncertain times.We are living in a period of genuine instability and when stress, fear, or overwhelm arise, it’s natural to tighten, react, or turn against others and ourselves. But, this leaves us feeling deeply isolated, precisely when connection is most needed.This session shares how mindfulness and meditation practices can open ourselves to greater ease, joy and connection. Not to make uncertainty disappear, but to acknowledge what is true with compassion and to anchor ourselves in the steady, resilient nature of the heart.In this 1:45-minute workshop, we weave together mindfulness, basic neuroscience, psychology, and traditional meditation practices to offer a grounded and accessible introduction to Open Heart Living.What We’ll Explore:Living MindfullyWhat mindfulness is — and what it isn’tHow mindful awareness helps calm the nervous system and restore balanceThe role of self-compassion and kindness in resilience and emotional well-beingHow to shift from reactivity to a heart-centred, compassionate responseMeditation, Made SimpleWhat meditation is and isn’tCommon misconceptions and how to do itThe science and practice of how meditation supports clarity and compassionThe breath as a steady companion — an anchor back to presence and the heartPractices We Will ExperienceThis workshop is experiential and guided, offering practices, self-inquiry and intentions that can be carried into daily life:Coming Home to the SensesFor the love of BreathBefriending Thought, Emotion and BodyLoving-Kindness (Compassion) MeditationThis workshop is for anyone who feels called to reconnect and cultivate a more open-hearted way of meeting themselves and the world. No prior experience with mindfulness or meditation is needed — just a willingness to show up as you are.
