Mindfulness consists of evidence-based, scientifically researched techniques that can lead to a healthier and happier mind, and mindfulness training has become one of the most important techniques in modern stress management, pain management, and in increasing contentment in life.

This is a practical, skills-based Course aimed at allowing you develop new practices to work with pressure, reduce stress, develop greater focus, and grow in happiness, giving you powerful tools to use in this age of anxiety and relentless pressures.

The Course will consist of:

  • 6 Tuesday evening sessions of about 2.0 hours (19.15 – 21.30) involving practice of skills, teaching and discussion
  • Guided practice at home on the other days of the week, with CD’s and Handouts to outline the skills.
  • A longer Saturday session to consolidate the practices.
