First Steps in Mindfulness with Maria Romero

This is a full day to try mindfulness with a teacher and a group. Its secular approach and lack of prerequisites make the format approachable, while the focus on daily life gives the exercises a clear context beyond the workshop.

Maria Romero leads the workshop. Explore several guided meditation practices, learn about the principles behind mindfulness and discuss your experience with the group. The day moves between practical exercises and explanations, with an emphasis on bringing attention into ordinary daily activities. No previous experience is needed. Suitable for people discovering mindfulness, building on a first introduction or returning to practice. The organiser provides the event information and registration form in French. The approach is secular and does not require a spiritual commitment.

Venue: Ressource Mindfulness, Espace Plantaporrêts, rue des Plantaporrêts 3, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland. Pay CHF 80 registration in advance, plus a conscious contribution at the end of the workshop, with the amount chosen according to your financial means. CHF 80 is not an all-inclusive total. Register through the organiser’s form. Places are limited, allocated in registration order and confirmed by payment; no booking cutoff is published. Cancellation is free until 15 days before the workshop; after that, the full registration fee is retained.

This introductory day at Ressource Mindfulness offers a place to begin exploring meditation and its place in everyday life. Guided exercises alternate with explanations and conversation, making room to try the practices and consider how they might fit into your routine. The approach is secular and does not require a spiritual commitment. You are welcome whether you are entirely new to meditation, have tried an app, or would like to return to a more regular practice.
