Self-belief and confidence

Weekly classes with Tina Hoffman

£9 each session (drop in or pre-book) ¦ free with membership

Discover ways for boosting your self-belief and confidence that are not reliant on accomplishments, external validation, or appearance.

Immerse yourself in uplifting guided meditations designed to connect you with your potential rather than focusing on your limitations. Authentic self-confidence can be elusive at times.  Relying on worldly achievements, like the approval of others, physical appearance, or social status, can make us vulnerable when these factors are absent. This vulnerability often leads to low self-esteem and demotivation.

We have boundless potential for happiness, freedom, universal love, and profound wisdom. Through meditation you can learn to identify with this potential and access the positive energy that will help you achieve these qualities.
