What we do
What is Mindfulness?
Introduced into medicine thirty years ago by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Professor of Medicine Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, mindfulness has become a successful mainstream influence in medicine, psychology, corporate training, and now education.
There are many definitions of what mindfulness is. In short, it can be described as; ‘to purposefully pay attention the present moment’. Mindfulness can be applied to sensory experience, thought and emotions by noticing what is occurring without reacting to it.
There is an impressive and growing body of research available on the benefits of Mindfulness practices for adults, children and adolescents.
Rita Riccola have been practising mindfulness for 20 years and is a registered school techer and licensed naturopath.

The Feb 3rd issue of Time Magazine focuses on mindfulness, the far-reaching effect it is having in all walks of life, and on Jon Kabat-Zinn, who brought mindfulness to hospitals and clinics, through his Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
“People come with a huge amount of pain and suffering, both physical and emotional,” says Kabat-Zinn in our Award Winning book, Be The Change. “Through the cultivation of mindfulness, they develop a more functional relationship with that suffering, they turn towards it, open to it, and actually befriend it to a degree rather than insisting that it stop, and in the process, the pain often transforms or even falls away… For the most part, they will tell you that they are more in touch with their own beauty than they may have been since they were children.”
