Why would it help me to train in mindfulness now?
In these uncertain times, joining with others to learn new skills to support our health and wellbeing is more available and more relevant than ever. 

​

Mindfulness training has been shown to help relieve stress of all kinds. The difficulty lies in the bodies’ response to threat. Unfortunately, in our modern world this very natural response can be stimulated beyond what is needed for a healthy existence. Through paying careful attention to our thoughts and feelings in an open and accepting way, mindfulness practices can help settle the threat response and bring about a more open-minded and open-hearted way of being.

Concessions

We do not wish money to be a barrier to attending our courses. Therefore, we can offer a few places on this course at a concessionary rate to anyone with genuine need. This is currently £90.00 for a

8-session group course and £45.00 for a 4-session group course.

 

As a guide, this discount can be available for students, those in receipt of state benefits, on a state or other low pension, or on a low wage. If you apply for the concession rate we will not question your circumstances but please bear in mind that our prices are already as low as we can keep them. It is also possible to pay in instalments. 

​

We also have 3 very reduced rate places per group course available for people who cannot afford the concession rate.

 

Please contact us to arrange a booking at the concession rate or discuss other options.

We may be able to offer an in-person, socially-distanced mindfulness course at Shieldsman Houseboat, our spacious venue in Shoreham, Sussex, from October, if government guidelines allow.

Please get in touch if you are interested.

What can I expect from an online mindfulness course?
The particular benefit of being part of a mindfulness course lies in the way we work with well-trained guides and other people to create a cohesive group. In this way we can develop friendships to support each other in bringing the practice of mindfulness into our lives.

​

You will be guided by an experienced, qualified mindfulness teacher in the scientific and practical understanding of mindfulness. There will be a focus on the stress response in the body and specific practices taught to help ease into more positive ways of being. Sessions are conducted in a friendly and open atmosphere to encourage sharing and relationship building. 

​

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.
