We Are Home is a safe and inclusive space where all are welcome to come and embark on the journey inward. At We Are Home the focus is on slowing down and paying attention to whatever sensations, feelings and thoughts are alive within the individual.
Here and Now
By observing the breath, with great curiosity and kindness, the individual enters a meditative state which allows him or her to experience the here and now. In this way, the individual steps out of autopilot, a state of mind where one completes tasks without conscious thought, to experience reality.
Compassion
In addition to helping people bring more presence into their daily lives, We Are Home offers exercises designed to cultivate greater empathy and compassion for all sentient beings.
