In this course, over a series of twelve audio talks from the facilitators of The Heart Movement, we introduce you to the three foundational practices that underpin heart-based living. The practice of mindfulness, the practice of listening spaces and the practices of heart intelligence. We supplement these talks with a range of guided audio and video practices.
From these three foundations, the course widens out to explore four ‘keys to the heart’; 1. stopping and resting, 2. happiness, 3. our relationship with difficulty and 4. connection. Each holds a doorway to a deeper, more heartful relationship with ourselves and with our world.
The complete audio course includes:
The course is both for beginners and those interested in exploring further the underlying principles, science, and practical applications of these foundations - we hope there is much here for you to learn and explore!
