Services
Mind The Gap offers the following services, as well as customized packages for clients.
Introduction to Meditation
A one or two-hour session introducing participants to Meditation techniques that they can start to use immediately and be on their way to achieve its many benefits. These sessions can be tailored to group-specific requirements and offer an overview of Mindfulness Meditation based on Shinzen Young’s Unified Mindfulness System.

Session outcomes:
- Learn basic Meditation techniques that you can start to use immediately.
