Mindfulness to support Long Covid Recovery (MLCR)
This course is a gentle journey into mindfulness. It shows how the ideas and practices support recovery from long Covid. It aims to reduce stress and support wellbeing and health - including mental health. Tune in with your body's needs and make better decisions to manage the wide range of symptoms.
The course is suitable for newcomers and those with prior experience. Sessions last 90 minutes, with a break part-way through.
Sessions are accessible and we encourage an approach of self-care - feel free to join from bed if needed! You are free to engage at whatever level is manageable at the time. Rest and take time out when needed but enjoy being part of a supportive community.
The course includes accessible guided meditations. There is support for home practice if you wish to bring mindfulness into your daily life. We include a course handbook and 'catch-up' videos of the Zoom sessions in case you miss a session. Contact us for information and bookings.

Mindfulness-based Wise Awareness (MBWA)
We often think of wisdom as being available only to those with the experience of age. But this is not the case. We can all be wise beyond our years by applying a few simple but profound approaches.
The course draws on two sources for inspiration. Ancient teachings from the Buddhist and other traditions form the background. While modern day research, and Carolyn's science background, illuminate our contemporary understanding.
Course structure
The course creates a safe, supportive environment.
Core components include:
-
cultivating mindfulness (becoming present with whatever is happening)
-
self-reflection (seeing ourselves with honesty and kindness)
-
broadening awareness (seeing a bigger picture helps decision-making)
-
managing change and uncertainty (learning to flow with events as they happen)
-
compassion and interconnectedness (seeing life's difficulties as part of our shared human experiences)
-
approaching difficulties with greater discernment (reducing ‘knee-jerk’ reactions)
-
opening to alternative viewpoints (recognising our own biases and conditioning)
The weekly sessions include:
-
guided meditations
-
short presentations of themes
-
discussion, including in small groups
-
experiential exercises
We also provide a course handbook and resources to support home practice
