Mindful Awareness Mentorship
For everyone: Beginners, Yoga Teachers, Coaches, Therapists...
Perhaps you've been misled in to thinking that meditation is hard. Or that it's only achievable after sitting cross-legged for 30 years under a bodhi tree. Perhaps you've done courses and learned techniques, but meditation still offers nothing useful in your life. Still, you're looking for that unknown element that will finally change your experience and understanding of meditation. And so, here you are.
There's a part of you (let's call it your ego) that may likely tell you that you can't do this training; that you don't have enough experience or ability; that you're not 'enlightened' enough; that you don't have the time; that you're too old, too young, too shy, too anxious, too fidgety, too new to this world of meditation. Yet, here you are.
And somewhere there's a small voice that's curious. That's the voice your ego doesn't want you to listen to... because when you do listen to that curious voice, you begin to embark on change, to grow and to thrive, and your ego starts to lose its grip on you and begins to fade and dissolve. I've got your back, and I have the know-how to prove your ego wrong!

A Meditation Mentorship - A Training Like No Other
This mentorship program provides a framework that takes all participants through a developmental system progressing from the ground up. More than a course to simply guide you on your way, this mentorship walks you through the practitioner knowledge base for deep understanding. Not only will you develop your own skill and meditation practice to a level of depth and useful application that many do not otherwise experience, but you will also learn how to share this fundamental system to others.
The Mentorship training is for everyone, regardless of previous meditation experience.

Practical Meditation
Is there such a thing? Yes. If you can implement practices that make change in your life, then those practices are useful and therefore add meaning to your life. All learning in this training is evidence based. Your experience will be founded on what is quite literally occurring within you.
Using progressive building blocks, this very practical training is structured in a very sequential order creating stepping stones on a path to Zen. Your job is to walk the path and keep on it, and when you do, you can't help but arrive at the path's destination. For many, keeping on the path is the hard part. That's where a mentorship becomes very helpful!
With all this said, interestingly, of all the practical benefits we seek from meditation, as our experience develops and deepens, something far more meaningful evolves... quite co-incidentally and often unexplainably. It cannot be taught in a book, nor understood through study. Beyond mental comprehension, this can only become known through experience. We come to know the deeper, multi-faceted, invaluable experience of meditation.

Mindful Awareness
What is the use of mindfulness if it's not changing your life for the better? If you've practiced Mindfulness before, you're probably familiar with becoming aware of your breath, of sensations in your body, of sounds around you, of your environment, and your thoughts and feelings. Maybe you've even become aware of your responses and reactions to the objects you are witnessing. These are very valid practices of mindfulness, and very helpful in making peace with yourself and life.
However, have you consciously looked at how you interact with the world, and become intimately aware of the 'driver' who is navigating your life in the vehicle of your body? And have you consciously looked at the physical messages your own body is sending you in every single living moment? Palpable, unquestionable messages that point back to your own insecurities, fears and resistances? Have you taken a good, deep look at all that encompasses being you? This. Yes, this. Is Mindful Self Awareness. Mindfulness at its most practical. It's one thing to have tools and practices that improve mindfulness in your life. It's something else to use that mindful awareness, and shine it in places that would otherwise remain in the dark!
Gradually over the 3-month period, the 'mental' knowledge of the processes that you develop will be surpassed by an 'experiential' understanding.
