Sign up for our challenge to meditate every day for two weeks and we will support you with tips, techniques and classes from inspirational meditation teachers.

Your mind is your most valuable asset and your most dangerous possession. It has an amazing capacity for both creativity and conflict. Every experience you have, or could possibly have, is mediated through your mind.

It might appear to us that we ‘got out of bed the wrong side’ or that we’re 'having a good day’ but these are just expressions that reflect our mind being caught in a negative or positive state. It's what we do with our minds, how we respond to the world ’out there’ as well as our own inner world, which determines what our lives are like.

Meditation is one of the most direct and powerful ways in which we can understand how our minds shape our lives. Meditating with guidance from experienced meditators and meditating with other people are two major factors to help us gain confidence and trust in meditation.

In this two week challenge you will be challenged to meditate every day for 2 weeks! We'll be holding two classes per week to inspire and guide you through the challenge so you can taste for yourself the freedom and energy that meditation can release in your life.

In addition, each day you will be sent a short video to support and encourage you through that stage of the challenge.
