Meditation Retreat for Beginners Charity Fundraiser
11/23/2019 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$45Imagine sitting down to meditate, having the knowledge and confidence that no matter what happens, you know what to do?
Busy mind? No problem.
Sleepiness? Easy to handle.
Restless? No more.
Doubt? Only in the past.
What if you could learn to meditate, AND help families while doing it? Mind Hacker has partnered with Inspire Community Out Reach to put this one of a kind event together. We will be donating ALL PROFITS from this event to help provide support for youth and families with unique challenges.
Inviting all who are interested in learning to meditate, whether a long time practitioner who wants to up their game, or someone who has never meditated before!
In this half day meditation retreat Cian will give precise instructions that will make meditation fluid even for those with the most busy minds. He will also ground those instructions with talks based on a solid foundation of Western Neuroscience and Psychology.
“The biggest complaint I have from new students is that as soon as they sit down, they are bombarded with thoughts, can’t seem to calm their minds. This is not a problem of ability, merely a simple misunderstanding as to how meditation works. In many cases a short 10 minute conversation is all I need to show these students the way past this hindrance.” – Cian
