About the Course
This is one of our most attended mindfulness trainings, designed for people who would like to establish, refresh, or deepen their mindfulness practice. Each session explores one aspect of mindfulness and builds on the previous week, creating a clear pathway through the foundations of practice.
Participants are encouraged to attend the full series where possible, as the course is structured progressively. Sessions include guided practice, silent practice opportunities, reflective learning, and space for questions.
What We Will Cover
- Setting up for practice: practical frameworks for creating the conditions to practise mindfulness with attentive kindness and care.
- Mindful awareness of the body: learning to notice physical sensations and embodied experience with curiosity and gentleness.
- Mindful awareness of emotions, thoughts and feelings: developing awareness of mental and emotional patterns without needing to suppress, avoid, or over-identify with them.
- Breath, and the senses: build understanding of how practice is supported by the breath and sensory awareness.
- Mindful awareness of Mind: discover what ‘Mind’ is and the relational aspects of experience.
- Guided and silent practice: experience both guided practice and periods of personal silent practice.
- Integration and application in daily life: techniques to bring mindfulness into everyday life.
