Mindful Meditation is run twice a week by one of our chaplains, Dave.
One is at the Oasis Centre and livestreamed. One is online only. See below for times and bookings.
Dave’s meditation is a guided process focused on breathing and based on mindfulness principles. No experience is necessary, Dave will walk you through it.
Mindful Meditation can help provide a reset to calm the body and mind. The process helps to control the monkey mind that likes to race all over the place and cause havoc with our thoughts and emotions.
Participants have noted feeling calmer, have greater clarity of thought, concentration, and perspective, and increased feelings of success and wellbeing.
In Semester 2 of 2019 Dave conducted 34 sessions, with 149 meditators, totalling 3000 mins of meditation.
