This transformative online course introduces awareness, meditation, and practical frameworks for thought and action. Perfect for all career levels, gain insights into your mind, cultivate resilience, and spark positive change.

This is a course about three big things:

Awareness: wellness begins with awareness. This course explains how to develop a sense of detachment to observe thoughts and feelings without judgement. You will understand why meditation helps and sample various approaches (don’t worry, no chanting ‘om!’).

Reflection: The course provides a picture of why we have thoughts and how they relate to feelings. We see how to ‘follow the story’ of a thought and discover the roots of our feelings.

Change: Using a simple framework we gain a practical approach to changing habits of thought, feeling and action, so that awareness and reflection can be translated into change.
