How we are depends
on how our mind is

Sustainable wellbeing is an inside job. To make it part of our lives, we need to learn to look inwardly to see how we react. This means understanding more about how our mind works, and about how we deal with our thoughts and emotions. For example, we could think of our minds as being like the sky—all our thoughts, emotions and experiences are like the clouds that come and go but never damage the sky. With this perspective, we can develop the courage and confidence to navigate the confusion of impressions, opinions and information that make up the world we live in.

In Awareness in  Action we explore sustainable wellbeing through understanding how this inner space of mind works.
We explore our qualities of clarity, connection and openness.

Clarity

Clarity starts with coming home to ourselves through meditation.

Video

Connection

Connection happens when we realize the power of kindness and compassion in our lives.

Video

Openness

Openness comes about through a recognition that our thoughts and emotions do not need to define us.

Video

We bring this perspective into action through three core avenues of exploration

with yourself
