Give yourself a gift of your own presence and join us on:
Thursday, 23rd of November
6:00-8:30pm
Biała Droga 4, Kraków
Who is this session for?
- for both beginners in meditation and mindfulness practice
- and for those who already practise it, but want to do it with a group
- for the stressed out and anxious ones
- for anyone who is overwhelmed with the speed of life and wants to just stop and find the silence within
- for everyone who'd like to spend a Novemeber evening in a like-minded group of people who, just like you, long for deep rest and regeneration.
DURING OUR SESSION YOU WILL:
- dive into your senses in a mindful eating exercise (I provide the snacks !)
- rest and let go in a body scan practice
- connect with your breath and clear your mind in a sitting meditation
- after the practice, take part in the sharing of how it was to meditate together. There will also be space for asking questions related to mindfulness practice.
WHO WILL GUIDE THE SESSION?
My name is Maria Opidowicz and I teach how not to let life pass you by due to stress and everyday haste.
I work with everyone who feels that the remote control of their own life is not in their hands any more and they want to get it back. I show how to regain that power through training your own mind in concentration as what you focus on, is what you have more of.
I want to show you how much meditation, this simple practice, can change your life !
I have been meditating for 12 years, 4 years ago, after becoming a qualified mindfulness trainer and a meditation teacher by Mindful Academy and Yoga Alliance Professionals in UK, I set up MindHarmony and I started to teach meditation and mindfulness.
I run mindfulness programmes, meditation sessions for individuals and for companies, mindfulness retreats.
Before I fully devoted myself to teaching mindfulness, I had been an English teacher for 10 years. I love hiking and running out in nature, I am into psychology and exploring human nature, I dance 5 Rythms and read non-fiction.
Two years ago I moved out to Stockholm, Sweden as this is where my partner is from, but I keep coming back to my beloved Kraków !
Looking forward to meditating with you!
