Contentment In The Now

With Joni Staaf-Stamford

This course aims to guide participants toward greater contentment and present-moment awareness in daily life. The objectives are to listen to an audio track every day to learn about acceptance and gain new tools, to learn to observe your internal state with gentle awareness, to practice shifting away from feelings of restlessness and anxiety, and to instead cultivate a sense of inner calm and trust for life as it unfolds. By following the progressive structure of this course, participants will gain valuable tools and insights that will foster mindfulness, acceptance, and enhance overall wellbeing with a greater sense of calm, even during challenging transitions.
