I've gained some marvellous techniques

“Inspirational”

I have just experienced a Mindfulness Course at Billabong and found the combination of science and thousands-of-years-old yoga and meditation practice so appropriate for where I am at now.

Mindfulness is about changing how you respond to your internal and external environment, so that you can direct your life in line with your true values and goals.

Founder, Billabong Retreat

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
