Do you live your life mindful enough?

We invite you to a workshop using the MBSR® (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) technique, where you will experience mindful presence in a safe, warm, and supportive space. This technique is based on a structured, scientifically validated approach, developed in a clinical setting, which supports stress reduction and the development of a more mature and gentle relationship with your own experience.

The workshop is designed as a lively encounter with the practice, not as a theoretical presentation on mindfulness. Together, we will explore what it means to be present in our bodies, with our breath, thoughts, and emotions, and how this presence can become a real support in our daily lives.

In addition to guided practices, the workshop includes moments of reflective dialogue (conscious inquiry), a central element of MBSR, which allows for the integration of lived experience and clarification of how we relate to difficulty, stress, and reactivity.

The workshop is open to people who are just starting out and looking for a safe and non-intrusive setting to discover meditation, as well as experienced practitioners interested in reviewing and questioning their practice in a setting that is attentive to the dimension of trauma and the risks of “spiritual bypassing.”
