The course consists of a free 2-hour introductory session and then a couple of weeks later the core part of the course which is 8 consecutive weeks. A couple of weeks after that core course, has finished a follow up session will take place online to help you on your mindfulness journey. So, in all there are in fact 10 online sessions each of 2 hours each.

To benefit from the course, it is highly recommended to attend every session, but life can get in the way and so there is some flexibility. To be fair to others on the course, as there is a strong community formed as being part of the course, if you are unable to attend 2 of the 10 week sessions, then you may be asked to rebook on another course when you can provide the commitment to it. The sessions will not be recorded. The free 2 hour introductory session is an important session and mandatory, so you understand what the course will entail, your commitment to it and experiencing practicing mindfulness and designed for you to see if the course is right for you.

This introductory session is free and is designed for you to learn more about Mindfulness, gain some insight into the course content and how you might benefit from the course.

For those taking the 8 week course it is mandatory session, to ensure that you come to the core course knowing all of the above and so all participants have received the same information when they start the course, but for those on the 2 day intensive course this is not mandatory. Try it, book now nothing to lose!

The core course is designed around Mindfulness Based Living – so it is a mix of talks, guided practices in the form of exercises and meditation and hints and tips, for you to weave Mindfulness into your day, so you can become calmer, handle the challenges of life in a more constructive way, as well as having a deeper insight into your own wellbeing and what your body and mind needs. Though there is a structure to the course, the pace and the building blocks of each course means there is a theme that is covered for each week. You are welcome to work through a workbook (approx. £10) at the same time, which is not included in the course fee, but this is not necessary and many have attended the course very successfully and have not used the course workbook.

The course is intensive and may suit those who cannot commit to the longer course. However, this consolidated course, is designed so you can learn to weave mindfulness into everyday living. So, if you can feel anxious at times, have trouble sleeping and unable to relax, overwhelmed with the challenges you face and overall want to lead a calmer, happier life, then this course will certainly help you. You will be taught how to meditate using different meditations according to need, be given hints and tips of how you can embrace mindfulness into your life with practice and acceptance. You will be part of a small group where the’ ground’ rules are that it is a safe and confidential space, to learn from others and contribute if you wish. 

No prior knowledge in Mindfulness is needed, just an open mind and a willingness to want to change the way you currently live your life. Mindfulness practice is encouraged and will deepen your understanding of yourself and in a short space of time, you usually start to see the benefits, which not just positively impact you, but those who you come into contact with.

No prior experience is at all needed, as the course is intended for those with little or no experience in Mindfulness- the guidance over the weeks builds on your Mindfulness learning and experiences.
