SUMMARY:Live mindfulness session: Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nEvery Wednesday morning\n\n\n\nMindful compassion live mindfulness sessions from 8.15- 9.00 every Wednesday morning. These sessions are led by one of a small team of qualified teachers rotating weekly: Annie Akasati McAuley\, Alison Austin\, Svetlana Scheck-Ramzy and Warren Deighan. Participants at the drop-in appreciate starting their day with the spacious\, grounding quality of mindfulness. They also enjoy the restorative\, nourishing elements of self-compassion\, kindness and care. \n\n\n\nWho are these for?\n\n\n\nThese live sessions are now open to all NHS staff across the UK whether or not you have any experience of mindfulness. The live sessions are also available to staff of the Sussex Health and Care Partnership and anybody else who has done an eight-week mindfulness course or a six-week Compassionate Leadership Training with the Sussex Mindfulness Centre. \n\n\n\nNot for clinical or crisis care\n\n\n\nWe offer these drop-in sessions to support your mindfulness practice\, to allow you an opportunity to try out mindfulness and build a sense of community. \n\n\n\nDuring the session\, please be prepared to have your camera on. If you feel distressed or unwell after a practice\, please let the teacher leading the session know and\, if appropriate\, your GP or a clinician working with you. \n\n\n\nIt 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. \n\n\n\nDo contact spft.smc@nhs.net if you have questions about the drop-ins but 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. \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to book?\n\n\n\nPlease email spft.smc@nhs.net for a link to join us.

SUMMARY:Moment to pause - Free lunchtime mindfulness session
DESCRIPTION:Work and life can feel so busy that you don’t have a spare moment to think\, plan or just experience the moment. Join a one-hour lunchtime session to experience how mindfulness can bring space and new perspectives. \n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\n\nMindfulness offers a chance to pause. It can help you manage stress and difficulties\, reflect on what’s most important to you and learn how to take better care of yourself. \n\n\n\nThis one-hour lunch-time session will give you a pause in the day to experience the benefits of practicing mindfulness. You will be guided through the basic principles of mindfulness and will sample a range of different practices. Over time these practices can help you build the capacity to experience life differently. Mindfulness can work for you as an individual and for your team or service. \n\n\n\nWho is it for?\n\n\n\nThese sessions are for you if you are: \n\n\n\n\nWould like to take a moment to pause in the middle of the day.\n\n\n\nAre returning to mindfulness and want a refresh / reminder about what is involved.\n\n\n\nCompletely new to mindfulness and meditation and want to try it out.\n\n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nOnline on Zoom \n\n\n\nFor all mindfulness work\, the connection between people in the group is central to the discovery and learning process. Please ensure the camera on your device is turned on during the session and try your best to join from a quiet\, private space\, if possible. We’re aware that the session is during lunchtime. Feel free to bring something to eat during the discussion if you’d like. \n\n\n\nIf you attend an evening taster or lunchtime ‘Moment to Pause’ session\, you are entitled to a 25% discount on all our fee-paying eight-week courses and six-week Compassionate Leadership courses\, subject to availability. Attendees will be sent a 25% discount code after the session. Please note\, the discount is eligible for our ‘general admission’ ticket type only.
