Overview
Join ‘Befriending the Mind’ with Natalia Bojanic—live in London or online—and discover mindfulness attitudes that transform how you relate to your thoughts.
This workshop will explore attitudes that nurture mindfulness and meditation, helping us cultivate a wise and compassionate foundation for sitting with our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
We will examine how key attitudes—such as curiosity, non-striving, letting be & letting go, and generosity —serve as effective antidotes to common obstacles in mindfulness practice, including boredom, agitation, aversion, and doubt.
When we befriend our mind, we become friends with the world—and the world, in turn, becomes our friend!
