Gold Standard Compassionate Mindfulness Training
In this 8 session course you will learn the very simple and beautiful art of Mindfulness and Compassion meditation.
We will share techniques for everyday life to remain mindful and observant when you start to feel negative emotions. You will learn to be kind with yourself and others.
Mindfulness meditation involves sitting quietly and paying attention to thoughts, sounds, the sensations of breathing or parts of the body, bringing your attention back to the present.
Sessions are normally weekly and include meditations, stories that illustrate how to apply the practice to your everyday life. Supported by open discussions, the chance to ask questions, a workbook and many more tools that support you to understand yourself and find greater calm in your life.
