What to expect on this course
Taught over 8 weeks this is a group-based course (up to 12 people) covering a number of themes including:
- Waking up to the life you have
- Gathering the scattered mind
- Relating differently to thoughts and worries
- Practising kindness
- Exploring what nourishes us
Each session builds upon the skills and understanding developed in previous sessions so it’s important to attend all the sessions, if possible.
Each session includes guided and structured meditation practices and space for discussion about your experiences and any learnings. There will also be time to review the previous week’s home practice.
To support your learning, you’ll also be set practices to do between the sessions, including both recommended guided practices and also ways to cultivate new habits of mindfulness in everyday life.
You’ll have access to guided practices and written material but it is recommended to purchase a copy of the book.
