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
