Mindfulness Evening Circle – with Jass
Mindfulness is the art of opening up to the present moment, embracing all that is alive within us and around us. It enables us to enjoy life deeply and cope with life’s challenges in a skillful way. It helps us to stop and slow down, understand the deeper meaning of things and align ourselves with our true aspirations. This is a drop-in group session. We will practice different mindfulness exercises together (mindful sitting, walking, eating, sharing…). Anyone can join for any session. On Donation.
This activity does not require advance registration; it is suitable for both complete beginners and experienced practitioners. If you need more information you can contact directly Jass by phone or Whatsapp (+91 733 945 9425) or write to serendipityauroville@gmail.com
Activity Timing:
Thursdays at 7pm
