HEALTH & WELLBEING 

Emotional Wellbeing
Wed 6-8pm,  4 weeks $40*
Each week for four weeks we will explore a different topic that will support an understanding of how our 'operating' systems work so that we can implement strategies to make life easier on ourselves instead of believing that we are defective or need fixing in some way. By sharing knowledge and raising awareness we can then use strategies that work for us as individuals. We will explore how anxiety operates, fight, flight, freeze, thought patterns, core beliefs and connect with values, to what matters to give us focus. Small steps! ​

Mindfulness Meditation

NEW DATES:
Thurs 6-7.15pm, starts 28 October, 6 weeks $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.
