Calm
Modern life seems almost designed to generate near-constant anxiety – and to deny us the chance for a peaceful outlook. But lasting calm can’t be summoned with candles or sunsets (as pleasant as these can be), but rather by organising our muddled thoughts. We have developed a range of classes and tools to help us to find calm on a regular basis and to grow into the serene people we deserve to be.
Tools for Summoning Calm
From understanding the causes of our most common anxieties to discovering sources of serenity in the everyday, we offer a range of tools for soothing our racing, fractious minds.

Mind and Body Therapies
A great step to healing – alongside psychotherapy and group discussion – involves working on our bodies and our senses. Many of our present stresses and long-term traumas are lodged in the body and need to be addressed through it. Our Mind & Body interventions complement psychotherapy, and will leave you feeling less burdened, calmer and more spontaneous.
