Classes & Courses
We are responding to coronavirus guidelines by moving our regular courses and sessions online.
As well as allowing participants to complete a mindfulness or compassion course/session without having to leave home, this also allows us to significantly reduce our charges, as we do not have to cover room hire.
"Why come on a course? There are loads of mindfulness resources online.." Participating in a course is interactive - you will get personal guidance from an experienced teacher and invaluable support from others in the group. Current course participants are finding that learning and practicing the skills of mindfulness in a structured course is a real help amidst the particular stresses in the challenging circumstances we find ourselves in.
Joining an online course
Our courses are conducted via 'Zoom'. This is easy to use on a desktop, laptop or smart phone. Full details will be provided on booking and support will be given in setting up where needed.
In these uncertain times, joining with others to learn new skills to support our health and wellbeing could be more relevant than ever.
Free Mindfulness
Drop-ins
In these troublesome times it can help to learn ways to calm the anxious mind, to see through difficulties more clearly, and to relate to those around us with kindness and in friendship.
These drop-ins will introduce you to mindfulness in practice and theory. The drop-ins lasts about an hour and there will be time for questions and individual queries afterward.
