Mindfulness Meditation

Thurs 6-7.15pm, starts 27 May, 6 weeks (in total) $40*
The greatest misunderstanding about meditation is the misconception that you need to clear your mind of all thoughts. Meditation is not about clearing the mind; it is simply about being in a relaxed state in which the mind is free of scattered thoughts and overthinking. Meditation is proven to have many health benefits for the mind, body and spirit. Join Shannon on a six week journey to discover inner peace amongst the noisy confusion of life. Each week will build upon the techniques you learn, providing you with the skills to easily integrate the practice into your day to day life.

Vision Board Workshop

Sat 29 May, 9.30am-3.30pm, 1 day $35*
Do you have a burning desire to realise a long-held dream or aspiration? Then a clear vision is a must. A vision board is a collage of images, words and affirmations of your dreams, desires and goals. It is a visual representation of your desires and aspirations and acts as a Law of Attraction tool designed to help you maintain focus on a specific life goal. The effectiveness of a vision board comes down to self-belief and really tuning in to your true potential. This workshop is about identifying your core self-beliefs, distinguishing the difference between authentic and inherited self-beliefs, silencing the inner critic and collapsing disempowering limiting beliefs, paying attention to what has heart and meaning, setting simple, realistic and achievable goals and creating an effective visionboard.

How to Raise your Vibration

Saturday 19 June, 9.30-1.30pm, 1 morn $50
The expression ‘good vibes and bad vibes’ comes from the energy we generate. We all vibrate at a particular frequency and this is influenced by our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and actions. If you are experiencing challenges in your life then your frequency will be low, your energy dense and the heavier your problems will seem. The higher your energy or vibration the lighter you will feel both physically and emotionally and you will experience greater personal power, clarity and peace. This workshop will teach you how to identify your vibrational state and provide you with some simple and practical steps to raise your vibration. Managing your own energy state can help keep you more harmoniously balanced. Join Shannon in this Saturday morning workshop.
