Sydney Mindfulness Training

Sydney Mindfulness Training offers mindfulness training to individuals and groups in both the private and corporate sector. A core programme is the 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program in which participants are taught, encouraged and supported to be "fully present in the here and now, being in touch with what is going on inside us and around us". Mindfulness is easy to understand conceptually, but more challenging in practice. The course, underpinned by research and theory, is structured around experiential exercises. This gives participants a real insight into what it feels like to be mindful. “Rita helped plan, organize and run a day-long retreat around Detachment for us. She guided us through a variety of mind-body practices that explored Mindfulness meditation and being in the present moment. Rita helped us find a superb venue (Nielsen Park) for the event. The feedback from participants in the event found Rita to be an exceptional facilitator and teacher.” — Sudhakar Chandra, Technical Program Manager at Google Australia “The mindfulness techniques [presented] have enabled staff to manage their anxious state appropriately before attending to an emotionally elevated consumer. It was definitely worthwhile and the knowledge we have received could be utilised both personally and in our workplace when supporting our consumers.” — Nadine Kosseifi, MIssion Australia Check out the website for the full range of services, helpful resources and several other reviews from reputable individuals and organisations.
