Join us for our online mindfulness group // Tues 28th April, 7-8.30pm AEST // Guest facilitator: One Door

On 28th April, join us for our second live mindfulness session 😍 The 1.5 hour event kicks off at 7pm AEST and will be hosted by @Former-Member and One Door Mental Health.

Mindfulness practice helps people connect to what is happening in the moment. This reduces stress, making people feel calmer and allowing them to think more clearly🧘. Taking a few minutes out of your day to focus on your thoughts and surroundings can have really positive effects on your mental wellbeing.

If you’ve never tried meditation before, or you’d like to continue practicing, everyone is welcome! 7pm – 8.30pm right here in this thread!

I'm new here - what is the event about?

This online shared event intends to bring together people living with complex mental health issues and their carers in an online setting, ensuring we are collaboratively allowing time for ourselves (and our minds) away from the stressors of our recovery journey. Check back soon for more info on the format!

How do I get involved?

Conscious Mindfulness takes place right here! It's text based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.

Throughout the session, the facilitator will put discussion points and questions out for you to consider, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.

We'd encourage you to engage in this event on a desktop computer/laptop, as we need to refresh the browser page quite frequently, sometimes this can be tricky on mobile!

What time does this event start in my timezone?

  • AEST- 7pm
  • ACDT- 6:30pm
  • ACST- 5:30pm
  • WST- 4pm

@Cecilia Stoked to hear some stress has left you. Do you think you could do small meditations like this regularly throughout your week? I am going to try super hard. Current goal sticking to it is now key

@Escaped_Goat I want you to know we're all sitting with you, and honouring this moment of fragility. You are not alone, and are allowed to feel fragile Or as raw as you need to feel my friend.

It's Hatha Yoga that I do @Former-Member Traditional.

Slower than Vinyasa.

I did some Vinyasa - I had to be familiar with the postures (already), or I would have been left far behind.
