Mindfulness Practice Group with Eleri

Do you feel that your thoughts are constantly racing and that tension keeps you from relaxing? The Mindfulness group offers a supportive environment for people who feel tense, tired, anxious, burned out or overwhelmed, and who have lost their peace of mind.

Learning mindfulness practices and using them regularly is a proven way to promote your well-being, prevent anxiety, depression and burnout, and recover from these conditions.

The group may be especially suitable if you:
- are used to caring for and taking responsibility for others, while your own needs tend to take a back seat;
- live with mental and emotional strain every day;
- feel buried under the pace of life and the pressure of your obligations, and unable to switch off and truly rest;
- feel burned out;
- often experience anxiety and restlessness.

Taking part in the group offers an opportunity to:
- set aside mindful time each week to slow down and care for yourself;
- slow your thoughts and return to the present moment;
- find inner peace and balance;
- experience the support of other group members and an experienced group facilitator;
- rest deeply and notice your own needs;
- reduce stress.

In the group, we use mindfulness and mindful relaxation practices to help:
- reduce stress and tension;
- improve sleep and concentration;
- strengthen inner balance and resilience.

An experiential approach, with exploration and discovery through different exercises and practices, helps you return to the present moment, understand yourself better and cope with everyday challenges.

During group sessions, we use:
- mindfulness practices and exercises;
- breathing exercises;
- guided meditations;
- self-reflection and listening to others’ experiences;
- calming music.

There is no obligation to speak. Everyone participates in whatever way feels right for them at the time.
