Mindfulness Session (by Donation)
with Valerie Cameron

Join Valerie for a 90 minute by donation class of Mindfulness and Meditation.

Valerie’s sight started to deteriorate in her twenties when she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a genetic disorder of the eyes that causes loss of vision.

She says she has often found it difficult to negotiate her way in the world, in ways she feels to be meaningful.

Mindfulness practice has taught her self-compassion and a way to live with - and move out of - depression.

She believes through mindfulness and Neuroplasticity, we can use the mind to change the brain - which then changes the mind.

Her blindness, issues with chronic pain and the inevitable restrictions on her life, made it easier for her to be reflective and journey inward, rather than out in the world, which lead Valerie to becoming a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition.

Drawing on her experiences, and using her Buddhist teachings as a foundation, she says her role is part of her contribution to the world, offering a valuable free service repaying the generosity that has been paid to her.
