Mindfulness Through Meditation
(A group course)
A six-week course of sessions two hours long, can be either live online via Zoom, or in person. The size of the group will depend on the type of delivery, but my intention is to keep class size as small as possible.
The aim is to introduce the concept of mindfulness via formal and informal meditation to people who would like to add this dimension to the way they live their lives.
Contrary to popular belief, mindfulness is not about “clearing the mind”, this is impossible to do – as the mind will continue to work 24/7, even when we are asleep. Instead, it is about noticing and allowing our thoughts, feelings and sensations; to understand how we can become more responsive to others and the world around us. Thereby reducing suffering and increasing experiences of peace, calm, joy and happiness in our lives.
Developing mindfulness as a daily practice is scientifically proven to foster well-being, reduce anxiety and depression and to empower people to feel more agency in their lives.
About this course
This course is available to be tailor-made to fit the needs of community groups, organisations and businesses.
People employed in healthcare and community service can benefit hugely from learning the art of mindfulness and self-care.
We are more able to help others when we feel whole, fully alive and awake to the present moment.

The Hero’s Journey
(A group course)
These courses are based on the face-to-face work but are enhanced with ritual, art, literature, nature, music & movement for all participants to benefit from the strength of the group. In our disconnected society, people are estranged from themselves and each other. This course aims to reconnect the group members to their wholeness, their whanau, community and all life, in a fun and engaging way.
Courses will be held for different age groups to facilitate a greater sense of belonging. Delivered over six, two-hour long sessions, it is necessary for participants to attend all six sessions.
This course also lends itself to organisational settings and can be modified depending on the goals of the members.
Please contact Sally to discuss the needs and requirements of your group.
