Event Details

Zen meditation and mindfulness based stress reduction programme Neuroplasticity mindfulness based stress reduction meditation. Unlock the power of neuroplasticity for stress proofing, emotional healing and resilience. The brain's incredible ability to rewire itself—known as neuroplasticity—offers profound potential for emotional healing and growth. Scientific research shows that meditation can reshape neural pathways, transforming how we perceive and respond to life’s challenges. Our emotional well-being is deeply connected to the brain's capacity to change. The thoughts and behaviors we repeat shape the pathways that define our inner lives. Through mindfulness, meditation, and movement practices, we can actively influence our brain’s structure, cultivating greater resilience and emotional balance. With consistent practice, we not only heal old emotional wounds but also lay the foundation for long-term stability and a more fulfilling life. How does the 8 week programme work? This program is a secular (non-religious) exploration of mindfulness and meditation taken directly from ancient Zen practices. While it shares similarities with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), it forgoes the therapist-client relationship to focus on self-guided growth. The programme goes beyond stress relief and psychological well-being, inviting participants to embark on a deeply personal journey.
