“An opportunity to be part of the shift in global consciousness”
Meditation is simple and powerful and has changed our lives. What if we all learned this practice from a young age? What if this were a daily practice in schools? This is our mission!
After the great success of more than 20 previous face-to-face editions in Lisbon, Algarve, Porto, Madeira and Azores, it is with great joy that we announce our next face-to-face training, this time in Almada, at the Shanti Yoga for All space, (15 min from the center of Lisbon).
The training will be divided into two moments. The 1st part (morning) being an introduction to meditation so that participants can understand the essence of meditation, experience and practice different techniques, and the 2nd part (afternoon), how to take meditation to
children and teenagers.
The training will be provided by Patrícia Herdeiro and Joana Magno, trainers of “O
Little Buddha” and who have been working in this area for several years.

We will teach what meditation is in essence and different techniques for participants to feel the effects and which modality they most identify with.
