You are invited to join Emma for meditation sessions during SA school terms. Beginners welcome – even if you’ve never meditated before feel free to come along. ​ Please note that Emma’s classes are on break as of 27th March 2020 – updates will be posted here when she resumes classes.

I’m Emma, and I have participated in a range of retreats through Skillful MIND as well as my own personal practice. I have been listening to focused relaxation and meditation for years before bed but the retreats and groups have really helped me to expand the range of meditation options.

I also work in the social services industry and find that meditation is important as part of a process for reflection and self-care. The compassion meditation is really important to reflect on what we can do for the world.

I find meditation beneficial for relaxation, for improving focus and concentration as well as for increasing compassion and kindness. I’m interested in learning a range of meditation techniques and activities-there’s always something new to learn!

Outside of meditation, I enjoy participating in yoga classes and walking in a variety of locations as well as visiting markets and cooking local food. I am fortunate to live by the beach and find that the beach and the ocean can be meditative in themselves. I enjoy reading on a range of topics, both fiction and non-fiction. You will soon discover that my favourite colour is purple and whilst I can be an introvert, once I get talking on a topic I can talk for hours. Looking forward to meeting you somewhere along your meditation journey.
