Mindfulness for refugees is finalist in Innovations in Mindfulness Awards
Our work implementing the Mindfulness Across Borders curriculum with women refugees and asylum seekers in Brighton has been recognised by the Innovations in Mindfulness Awards.
Collaborating with the original pioneers of the Mindfulness Across Borders curriculum, the Sussex Mindfulness Centre has been offering mindfulness courses to women refugees in Brighton. You can find out more about the project here and in this blog post; Miracles of Mindfulness.
