Fully Being ~ Sunshine Coast is a meditation group that meets three times a month (the first Sunday and 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from October 2024) at the clinic to practice, study and discuss meditation together. We also use Zoom link for people wishing to join remotely to group practice. You can always find upcoming session times and links listed on our events page here.
The meditations are mainly based on the Fully Being online course by Tsoknyi Rinpoche. The Fully Being program is ideal for anyone looking for an online resource to learn a secular approach to meditation to develop greater relaxation and compassion from a genuine source. If you are new to meditation this is an excellent way to learn a mindfulness practice with a gentle approach to working with mind and body. For an example of this relaxed and embodied style of meditation practice led by Rinpoche, follow the link here.
If you are already a meditator you may develop another understanding of how to re-approach the practice, help resolve obstacles or bypassing, and skilfully work with your mind while connecting to awareness and loving-kindness.
Our Fully Being group sessions start with a meditation practice, after which we watch short teaching videos, practice some gentle QiGong exercises, followed by discussion and conclude with a somatic mindfulness practice.
Fully Being Sunshine Coast is offered by sliding scale donation ($5-$10) which helps cover costs for facility and related fees as well as towards a yearly donation to the Fully Being international organisers; Pundarika.
