Supporting your Wellbeing with Mindfulness
Mindfulness practices can help us manage our stress, anxiety and emotional and physical pain.
I offer half day / day workshops which can help us work with difficult emotions, (like anger or anxiety); improve our communication skills, (often a source of worry and regret); and support us to navigate change.
I also run day retreats which provide the space to pause and practice in a supportive environment.
For those who have the opportunity to dive deep into the experience of mindfulness, I facilitate a ten week course of practical, scientifically investigated teachings which promote physical health and emotional wellbeing.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction was designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, a scientist, writer, and meditation teacher, who wanted to help people manage their pain - whether physical or emotional.
Through sitting, walking and body scan meditation practices, as well as mindful yoga, we learn to relate directly with our mind, emotions and body to feel better equipped to manage the stress in our lives.
What the 10 weeks cover:
Session 1. What is Mindfulness?
Session 2. There is More Right with You, than Wrong with You
Session 3. Developing Perspective and thinking Outside the Box
Session 4. Discovering the Pleasure and Power in being Present
Session 5. New ways of Relating to Stress
Session 6. Finding the Space for Making Choices
Session 7. Mindful v. Mindless Communication
Session 8. Silent Retreat Day
Session 9. Taking Care of Ourselves
Session 10. How to Approach the Rest of Your Life

What to expect
During the sessions, you will be guided through various mindfulness practices that involve sitting, lying down and/or gentle movement. You will also be introduced to other exercises that will help you build an awareness of stress/distress in your thoughts, feelings and body so that you can begin to find new, more helpful ways of responding.
Each class lasts two and a half hours and it is important to make a commitment to attend each week. The course is like a ladder; each session is like a rung on the ladder.
Please note, session 8 is a 6-hour retreat day, usually held on a Saturday or Sunday.
Home practice
Practicing the body scan, meditation and mindful movement exercises each day are an important part of the course. It takes time and persistence to reap the benefits of mindfulness.
Working as a group
Unlike traditional education, mindfulness based teaching rests on the understanding that no one person holds the answer and that we can more easily access our own wisdom through our interactions with others.
There will be time to share your experiences and how you're integrating these practices into your daily life.
Everyone is welcome. Diversity strengthens our group learning.
Where?
These courses are held in north London.
Cost
The course costs £295.
Concessions are available.
Pre-registration is essential.
