Our Project

Our project consists of a full year programme of mindful meditation courses, including advanced courses in an ongoing basis, where participants can learn to meditate and practice it at anytime, anywhere in spite of their multiple commitments. Today at BODHINI, we conduct different mindfulness meditation courses during the year, along with guided retreats for both religious and laity. Most of the courses offered at Bodhini are residential, namely, 10-Month Course on Christian Mindfulness Meditation (CCMM), 6-months-to-one-year Mindful Contemplative Experiential Program (MCELP), 1-5 months mindfulness course such as mindful contemplative retreats (MCR), mindful encountering of Christ in the Scripture (MECS), Mindfulness Meditation for Jubilarians, etc. In addition to these courses, we offer ongoing preparatory courses on meditations for laypersons.
