Live mindfulness session: Third Thursday of the month

Event Series (See All)

17 September at 08:30 to 09:00

Our live mindfulness sessions are led by experienced teachers, and offer an opportunity to refresh and sustain your practice. It’s also hugely beneficial to practice with others. Join us.

About the teacher

These sessions are led alternatively by David Ward , who has a keen interest in mindfulness and compassion-based approaches for supporting wellbeing, and draws on 30 years of practising mindfulness meditation and Denise Cohen.

Who are these for?

These live sessions are open to everyone. We offer these sessions to support your practice, to allow you an opportunity to try out mindfulness and practice alongside others.

If you have no prior experience of mindfulness we would recommend attending one of our taster sessions first. You can book on to one of our tasters here. To get the most out of these live sessions we recommend completing an eight-week mindfulness course, if you haven’t already. You can find out more about these courses here.

Not for clinical or crisis care

These sessions are not a substitute for clinical care, and it is not advisable to do these mindfulness practices in the heat of a crisis, when it would be important to access your GP or your designated mental health clinician.

Queries

Do contact spft.smc@nhs.net if you have any questions about these live online meditation sessions. Please be aware that we are not a clinical or crisis service, and it will not be possible to respond urgently or clinically to emails.

Recommendations

We run these sessions as if we were practicing mindfulness together in the same room. So, during the session, to help create a sense of trust and community we encourage participants to keep their cameras turned on.
