在這忙等於成功，而空閒等於失敗的城市
每日捱夜循環LOOP，您終於忍唔住問︰
「我究竟做緊咩？」
想真正放鬆，除左打機、煲劇、碌IG之外
亦需要靜落來，同自己個心溝通
Be mindful，享受當下的寧靜，keep calm and find peace。
Calming Down your Heart
In a city where being busy equals success and idleness implies failure, are you always busy like a buzzing bee? Have you often pulled all-nighters, not knowing what you are actually doing?
Perhaps “winding down” takes more than video games, television dramas or Instagram. It is about slowing down to communicate with your inner-self. Learn to enjoy the moment, be mindful, keep calm and find peace.
Mindfulness Exercises for Well-being (MRW3/18-19) (MRW4/18-19)
「靜觀」是指「有意識地、不加批判地留心當下此刻而升起的覺察，藉以瞭解自己，培育智慧與慈愛」。培養這種專注覺察讓我們對自己內在狀況和周遭處境有更清晰的了解，從而能夠更善巧地應對各種情況和困擾。在這工作坊，我們會一起經驗一些靜觀減壓方法，學習專注當下，從而更加照顧自己的身心。
“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention on purpose, in the present moment non-judgmentally in the service of self-understanding, wisdom, and compassion.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness can be described as being completely awake and present, moment by moment to what is happening within us and around us. It allows us to stay calm and make sane choices in face of daily stresses.
At the end of the workshop, you will have:
- experienced basic mindfulness practices
- enhanced your awareness of the present
- learned to take better care of yourself

NEW 漸進式肌肉鬆弛工作坊 Understanding the Mind-Body Relationship through Progressive Muscular Relaxation Exercises (PMR1/18-19)
How much do you understand your own stress?
Do you truly know how your stress affects your mind and body?
Too much stress not only makes us feel bad, anxious and demotivated. It can also manifest in different bodily symptoms, such as headache, stomachache, and muscle pain. Understanding the mind-body relationship is the first step to relieve such bodily discomfort and tension, as well as boosting our mood!
Progressive Muscular Relaxation (PMR) is one handy exercise to help you understand your mind-body relationship better. It allows you to learn to recognize and control muscle tension in a systematic way. By deliberately tensing and relaxing your muscles, you can achieve a deep state of relaxation for both the mind and the body.
At the end of the workshop, you will have:
- understood your mind-body relationship better
- enhanced your awareness of muscle tension
- learnt to relax your muscles and mind
Note: You should consult your physician if you have a history of serious injuries, muscle spasms or back problems.

NEW Mean少陣空間︰重拾對自己的關懷 Self-Compassion Workshop: Re-connecting yourself with kindness (SCW1/18-19)
您是否常常對自己很苛刻？
您會否常常把自己跟別人比較，並且批評自己？
您會否因此而感到情緒低落、焦慮、失去動力、孤單、像個失敗者？
當處於困境或有很多負面情緒時，您會否認為自己很軟弱？
若您有以上的困惑，並察覺到對自己mean/harsh/self-critical不能再有效地鞭策自己，反而令自己更深地陷入負面情緒的漩渦，令自信心受損，歡迎您參加這個工作坊。
在這個空間，我們將會一起學習減少用冷漠、批判的態度來評價自己，並探討如何用溫暖、關懷的方式善待及更有效地推動自己。有研究發現，自我慈悲程度較高的人抑鬱和焦慮情緒較少、生活滿意度較高、面對挫折的時候，反應也比較平靜。
當見到朋友遇上困難，很多人都會自然地給予協助、關懷。當我們自己受到挫折時，若我們能嘗試不與自己為敵，會否有意想不到的效果呢？
從工作坊不同的體驗式活動，您將會學習到：
- 分辨不同的自我對話模式
- 用慈愛之心關懷及推動自己
- 以開放、積極的態度經歷及面對挫折
- 培養與己為善的生活態度
If you are tired of being harsh on yourself, this experiential workshop is for you. You will be introduced to simple strategies for motivating yourself and responding to difficult emotions from a place of kindness rather than one of criticism. Research suggests that self-compassion reduces anxiety and depression, boosts emotional well-being, and makes us more resilient in the face of challenges.
