About
Using a kind of secular Buddhism and sourcing wisdom from all over the philosophical world, we're about what works to reduce stress and to make your daily life more peaceful.
Based on the Gold Coast, Qld, Australia, we're mainly about Mindfulness Meditation and philosophies that go along with living an authentic, less stressful life.
Our classes are scheduled to begin soon!

From Wikipedia:Mindfulness is moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, characterized mainly by "acceptance" - attention to thoughts and feelings without judging whether they are right or wrong. Mindfulness focuses the human brain on what is being sensed at each moment, instead of on its normal rumination on the past or on the future.
Although it has roots in Buddhist meditation and mindfulness practices, a secular practice of mindfulness has entered the mainstream, in part through the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and his Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, launched at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1979. Since that time, clinical studies have documented the physical and mental health benefits of mindfulness in general, and MBSR in particular. Programs based on MBSR and similar models have been widely adapted in schools, prisons, hospitals, veterans centers, and other environments.
Clinical psychology and psychiatry since the 1970s have developed a number of therapeutic applications based on mindfulness for helping people suffering from a variety of psychological conditions.
