The Taster

Length: 60-150mins
No. of Participants: 8 - 32

The Taster is the best way to introduce mindfulness and emotional intelligence to a large number of people in one sitting.

It takes novice meditators through the history, the neuroscience and three formal practices to give a rounded understanding of what applied mindfulness and emotional intelligence

is and how to use it.


“It was a great introduction into mindfulness. For many this was their first encounter with the practice of mindfulness and they felt that the session was very manageable. Well-paced, the perfect balance between theory and practice with enough time for questions. Alexis was calm, attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. So a big thanks to AJ Bicât!”
— Kylie Spencer - Careers Project Director, NABS
