Western Mindfulness
Is about being aware of better serving options, and remembering in each moment that having those options means you can choose to be kinder to yourself, to others and to the environment.
Introducing Russell Sturgess
Russell Sturgess is one of Australia's thought leaders in Western Mindfulness. Its philosophy differs from Eastern Mindfulness, given that the roots of Western Mindfulness stemmed from medieval Europe. More recent developments in neuroscience have validated this approach, which is less focused on meditation and more oriented towards remembering kinder alternatives. Trained in mindfulness practices in the late 80's, which he integrated into his work as a health professional, Russell actively researched an approach to mindfulness that emerged from southern France and northern Italy during the middle-ages. He published his first book on the subject in 2009 from which he developed his groundbreaking mindfulness mentoring programs and workshops; The Enhances Awareness Program and Pathways to Mindfulness.
