Extensive research has shown that developing Mindfulness practices, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Courses specifically, can have a significantly positive effect on:

  • Developing greater self awareness

  • Increasing our ability to manage stress

  • Improving physical and psychological health

  • Reducing anxiety and depression

  • Reducing tension, anger and fatigue

  • Enhancing relationships

  • Increasing vitality

  • Aiding better sleep

  • Developing stronger immunity

Classes in an 8 Week MBSR Course run for 2 hours each week on Zoom.

Each week will see us approach a different topic, and you will be guided in various meditations, reflections, and discussions, resourcing you with the tools you need to leave the course with a greater amount of resilience, awareness and compassion.

The course is interactive, supportive, and collaborative, and will provide you with:

  • Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices, i.e., body scan, mindful movement, breath awareness and more

  • An enquiry process to deepen individual and group understanding to support aligning ourselves to being more present in our lives

  • Opportunities to discuss how to work with obstacles to mindfulness, and how we can best integrate mindfulness into daily life

  • Less reactivity, and more awareness – build a greater ability to respond to life’s demands and difficulties with skill, openness, and kindness.

The programme is both rewarding and challenging, and requires on-going commitment to yourself and the home practice.

Home practice is a major part of the course and will involve guided mindfulness practices of about 30 minutes a day. All materials needed will be provided including audio recordings of guided practices, and a handbook.

Towards the final weeks of the course, participants will attend a half day guided retreat via Zoom. This is an opportunity to experiment with mindfulness through a longer period of uninterrupted practice. All parts of the retreat day are guided by the teacher.
