In a world where stress and anxiety often dominate our day-to-day lives, the need for mindfulness and self-awareness has become more important than ever. Recognizing this need, a transformational workshop is being offered, focusing on the use of mindfulness awareness tools to aid in the recovery process. This workshop, designed to be accessible to all, regardless of prior experience, aims to provide participants with practical techniques that can be applied to their daily lives. At the heart of this workshop is the concept of mindfulness, a practice that encourages individuals to be fully present and engaged in the moment. This practice has been scientifically proven to support the recovery process by helping individuals break free from destructive mental patterns. The workshop will guide participants through the basics of mindfulness awareness, demonstrating how it can be used to overcome mental ruts and promote self-kindness. The workshop also emphasizes the importance of body awareness. This aspect of mindfulness encourages individuals to tune into their physical sensations as a way of grounding themselves in the present moment. By doing so, it helps them distance themselves from dominating patterns that can often hinder the recovery process. But this workshop is not just about learning; it’s about sharing experiences as well. Participants will have the opportunity to join group sharing circles, fostering a sense of community and mutual support. It’s important to note that while mindfulness has roots in Buddhist philosophy, this workshop is not a religious practice. It is a practical tool for anyone looking to enhance their self-care routine and improve their mental well-being. The driving force behind this workshop is Anne Markham Bailey, a woman whose passion for supporting individuals on their journey to recovery is evident in her extensive background. With credentials as a poet, writer, experienced meditation instructor, mindfulness awareness practitioner, certified Forest Bathing guide, labyrinth facilitator, and yoga instructor, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Anne’s dedication to the practice of mindfulness extends beyond this workshop. She has worked with Pam and Steve Moore as a yoga and awareness instructor for five years, facilitated yoga sessions with St Mary’s Group home, and offers online classes in creative awareness. Her commitment to spreading mindfulness awareness is also evident in her written work. She is the author of “The Practice of Being,” a guide to mindfulness awareness practice that offers readers an insightful look into the benefits of intentional living. In addition to her work with the Moore’s and St Mary’s Group home, Anne regularly offers classes, workshops, and public talks aimed at promoting mindfulness and self-awareness. Her passion for these topics is infectious, inspiring others to embark on their own journey towards increased self-care and mental well-being. This workshop is a testament to the power of mindfulness and its role in the recovery process. By providing participants with practical tools and techniques, it aims to empower individuals on their journey towards recovery.
