our meditation course
It is a path of self-knowledge through meditation that allows us to understand and manage the mind and emotions to live with serenity. Thus, we will be able to take care of ourselves, others and the world in a lucid and attentive way.

THE BLOCKS

II
I
Registration for the first block does not commit you to completing all the other blocks.
We will understand the relationship between physical and mental or emotional well-being, as well as the benefits of meditation. We will identify the ego's mechanisms to sabotage our purposes, which distances us from full well-being. We will begin to integrate care into our daily lives.
We will enter the path of mental calm and we will learn about the obstacles to cultivating full attention and we will apply the antidotes to overcome them. Then we will learn about the "four unlimited thoughts" (love, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity), a practice to soften the heart and connect with our fundamental tenderness.
III
(9 months)
We will begin to use meditation to understand how our reality is configured. First through the study and practice of the four foundations of mindfulness and, later, with the four seals of existence.
