Science-based Meditation Online Course
A five-sessions Course, one session per week.

About The Course
Scientific studies affirm that meditation offers numerous benefits, including stress reduction, anxiety and pain management, increased focus, and emotional well-being. Beyond mere practice, meditation is a study, and the intellectual aspect serves as your map on this journey. Our course, rooted in a secular, science-based approach, addresses various types of meditation, techniques, obstacles, myths, and more. We provide a workbook with instructions, practices, and references. If this aligns with your interests, please register, and feel free to reach out for any questions or inquiries.
