Learn Mindfulness Meditation to be a calmer, more connected and happier parent…

Do you sometimes find parenting frustrating, exhausting or a struggle? Would you like to experience more joy in your family despite the hard times?

Join Mindfulness Trainer, Suzie Brown, for a half-day workshop to learn mindfulness ‘habits’ and meditation practices you can do everyday to help you to:

• be calmer, more effective and more connected with your children
• develop focus and the ability to be really present with your children – and life in general!
• manage your strong emotions to be less reactive with your family
• learn mindful parenting methods to help your kids be more co-operative, calmer and happier too.

The workshop will be suitable for parents of children aged 0-11 as the focus will be on parenting strategies for this age group. No prior meditation experience is required.

Suzie draws on her training as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and many years of Insight meditation practice, as well as her experience as a mother of a spirited child, to offer this practical workshop. Mindful parenting techniques helped Suzie to find real joy and ease as a mother, even through the hard times, and she’ll show you how this can help you (and your kids) too.

The workshop will include the following meditations and skills:

• breath meditation
• mindfulness of emotions
• mindful parenting techniques for children aged 0-11
• mindful listening and communicating
• mindful movement (gentle yoga)
• awareness and understanding of the causes of emotional stress and how to reduce it

The workshop fee includes refreshments, guided audio meditations, Mindfulness wallcard, and Suzie’s e-guide Top 10 Tips for Stress Free Parenting.
