Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. When we become more mindful we open the door to experience and express gratitude for the things that we have in our lives that perhaps we forget or have taken for granted. Join us for this 1 hour engaging and interactive course of mindfulness and gratitude, learn to incorporate these practices into your everyday life and increase your wellbeing.
