Mindfulness Based Living Course

• Do you worry about things that may never happen, or dwell on things in the past that you can’t change?

• Does living in this way cause frustration, anxiety and regret?

• Would you like to find a different way to meet the challenges of life – one that’s less reactive and more accepting?

• If so, this 8 week course is a chance to experience mindfulness in a fuller, richer way.

• The Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) is a comprehensive programme of mindfulness training. It is recognised as an eight week course in the Good Practice Guidelines of British Association of Mindfulness based Approaches . 

• You’ll be provided with the tools (and a course manual) to develop a mindfulness practice to bring into your personal and professional life.

• The course involves eight weekly  sessions, plus an introductory and follow-up session, together with the  option of a half-day of practice, at no extra cost.

• An individual commitment to meditation practice of between 20 and 45 minutes a day is recommended for maximum benefit.

Is this the right course for me?

• No previous experience is needed. Like any new skill, developing a more Mindful You takes time and practice.

• As  an experienced Clinical Psychologist and fully qualified Mindfulness teacher, I’ll offer you all the tools and support you need to start, and to nurture your own mindfulness practice. 

• How much you use these tools will determine how much of a change can be possible in your own life.

• Approach the course with an open heart, and mind, and a willingness to see the world, and yourself in a different way. Staying curious about the possibilities this brings.

• To gain most benefit from the course, it is recommended that you invest between 20 and 45 minutes a day of personal practice.

• Don’t worry, we’ll gradually build up the practice period as your own mindfulness grows.

• Also, you’ll be invited to bring mindfulness into your everyday life, and see what happens – do you notice anything different?
