SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion course: eight weeks on Monday evenings
DESCRIPTION:Our eight-week Mindful Self-Compassion course teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to challenges and difficult emotions with care and understanding. \n\n\n\nMonday evenings\, from 5 to 7.30pm. The orientation is on 14 September followed by the eight-week course from 21 September to 9 November. \n\n\n\nOverview​\n\n\n\nHow we respond to those around us is fundamental to a happy life. We are often encouraged to be kind to people. But in trying to show compassion towards others\, we may forget to look after ourselves. Can we truly be kind to anyone else if we cannot be kind to ourselves? \n\n\n\nIn the Mindful Self-Compassion course we offer ways to meet our own challenges with greater care. Through the course we will learn how to be more mindful of our own feelings in response to others. And we learn how this can help us to be more resilient in difficult situations. We also learn to be less judgemental and more caring. We will learn how this can reduce anxiety\, leaving us more open to making helpful changes in our lives. \n\n\n\nThe course creates a safe\, supportive environment. There are three core components: \n\n\n\n\nmindfulness (being present with whatever is happening)\n\n\n\nself-kindness (treating ourselves with care\, rather than criticism)\n\n\n\ncommon humanity (recognising our suffering as part of the shared human experience)​\n\n\n\n\nSome of the main topics we cover are: \n\n\n\n\nhandling difficult emotions\n\n\n\ntransforming the inner critic\n\n\n\ncultivating core values\n\n\n\nmeeting unmet needs\n\n\n\n\nThe weekly sessions include: \n\n\n\n\nguided meditations\n\n\n\nshort talks\n\n\n\ndiscussion\, including in small groups\n\n\n\nexperiential exercises\n\n\n\nresources to support home practice\n\n\n\n\nThe course creators are Kristin Neff\, researcher in the field of self-compassion. And Christopher Germer\, leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy. They have each published books on the subject. You can find out more about our Mindful Self-Compassion course here. \n\n\n\nWho is this course for?\n\n\n\nThis course is designed for the general public\, so you do not need to have attended a mindfulness course before. Please note\, this courses may not be suitable for everyone. If you are experiencing mental health issues\, you should talk to your GP about being referred to the appropriate clinical service. \n\n\n\nWhen? \n\n\n\nMonday evenings from 5pm to 7.30pm (BST). The course starts with an orientation of up to 2.5 hours on 14 September 2026 at 5pm\, and then continues until 9 November 2026. In total the course runs for 9 weeks including the orientation.

SUMMARY:Fierce Self-Compassion: A course for empowered care
DESCRIPTION:Fierce self-compassion means taking empowered action to protect\, provide for\, and motivate ourselves to alleviate suffering and thrive. This new and unique eight-week course explores the more action-oriented side of self-compassion\, supporting you to do the inner work needed to speak up\, set boundaries\, change habits\, claim your power and feel fulfilled. \n\n\n\nOverview​\n\n\n\nSelf-compassion is often associated with gentleness and comfort\, yet it also encompasses a more dynamic\, brave dimension. This aspect of care is expressed through strength\, courage and determination — qualities that are essential for protecting\, motivating and providing for ourselves and others. \n\n\n\nIn taking this course you will develop the capacity to: \n\n\n\n\nMotivate yourself using encouragement rather than self-criticism.\n\n\n\nIdentify and overcome obstacles that prevent you from setting effective boundaries.\n\n\n\nLearn to harness anger as a constructive force for protection and growth.\n\n\n\nRecognise and honour your personal needs.\n\n\n\nUnderstand the contribution of fierce self-compassion to social change.\n\n\n\n\nWho is this course for?\n\n\n\nThis course is intended for the general public and Mindful Self-Compassion teachers. It is a prerequisite for the Fierce Self-Compassion Practicum training programme. \n\n\n\nThis may be of particular interest to anyone who needs to draw on strong energy to care for themselves and the world\, such as those in family care roles\, healthcare workers\, therapists\, teachers\, coaches and activists\, charity workers as well as mindfulness\, meditation and yoga practitioners and teachers. \n\n\n\nWhen? \n\n\n\nThere will be an orientation session on Saturday 5 September\, from 9.30 to 11.00. The eight-week course starts 19 September and runs until 7 November 2026 without a break\, Saturday mornings from 09.30 to 12 midday. \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nOnline. You will get Zoom log-in details when your place is confirmed. \n\n\n\nThe format of the course?\n\n\n\nThe course is delivered over eight weekly sessions\, each lasting two and a half hours\, with a 10 min break in the middle. Each session builds on what’s been introduced before\, so it’s important to attend all the sessions if possible. (If you know you’re going to miss a session please let your teacher know) \n\n\n\nYou’ll be in a group of up to 14 people\, led by one of our experienced mindful self-compassion teachers. Each session starts with a guided meditation. You will be invited to practice the meditations in any posture that best supports your focus and comfort\, including lying down\, sitting\, walking\, or other forms of movement. Following this\, we’ll discuss the previous week’s home practice experiences and then introduce the weekly theme. This theme is explored through further meditations\, small and large group discussions\, and self-reflection exercises. These exercises are designed to help participants connect personally with the curriculum material and see how it applies practically to their own lives. \n\n\n\nThe encouraged home practice includes formal meditations and informal practice in daily life from 10 to 20 minutes a day. You may find the practices bring up strong emotions at times\, which is all part of the process\, and we will explore this further in the weekly sessions. \n\n\n\nEach week there will be optional reading suggested of a chapter in Kristin Neff’s book ‘Fierce Self-Compassion.’ Audio recordings for continued home practice\, weekly notes\, and supplementary resources for further exploration will be shared via email. \n\n\n\nSome experience of mindfulness or mindful self-compassion is helpful but not essential before taking this course. \n\n\n\nFacilitator \n\n\n\n\n\nZoe Shobbrook-Fisher \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoe has been a Mindful Self-Compassion teacher trainer since 2019. For the last 16 years\, after a decade working as a student/staff counsellor and group facilitator in higher education\, she set up her own company in southwest London\, offering beginner and deepening practice Mindful Based Stress Reduction and MSC courses\, residential retreats and self-compassion informed therapy. She is a director at The Mindfulness Project and co-founded the thriving In Good Company practice community. She delivers programmes to a wide range of groups\, reflecting her commitment to making these approaches accessible to diverse populations; in the workplace\, charity and clinical settings. A lifelong yoga and meditation practitioner she has always been dedicated to paths of the heart and authenticity. Her practice includes her love of singing and conscious dance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nPlease note\, we ask all those who book a place on this course to fill in an application form here that will be sent to the facilitator.

SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion: Freeing the heart for joy
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Exploring the power of tender and fierce mindful self-compassion to let in beneficial experiences more fully\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis experiential workshop explores how joy and pleasure can strengthen resilience and wellbeing. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nWhat is covered?\n\n\n\nResearch consistently highlights the crucial role of joy and pleasure in building inner resilience and overall wellbeing. Positive experiences are vital for counteracting chronic stress and promoting feelings of safety\, connection\, and satisfaction. However\, numerous internal and external barriers often prevent us from embracing these nourishing experiences. The rising rates of burnout at work and at home underscore the urgent need to address this. Maybe this is true for you\, the people you care for or care about? Drawing upon the principles of Mindful Self-Compassion and the insights of Rick Hanson\, this experiential workshop will provide practical exercises\, meditations\, and contemplations designed to foster joy\, prioritise self-care\, and unlock inherent wisdom and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nWorkshop objectives\n\n\n\n\nTo cultivate a deeper sense of connection\, wisdom\, and understanding through an enhanced capacity for joy.\n\n\n\nTo understand and address the common blocks that prevent us from experiencing joy e.g. Fear of vulnerability and loss\, fear of addiction\, habits\, internalised culture\, perfectionism and misunderstandings about mindfulness and Buddhist psychology with regard to aversion and clinging.\n\n\n\nTo learn mindful self-compassion informal practices that support letting in positive experience and ‘hardwiring happiness’ (ie. sense and savour\, self-compassion in daily life\, gratitude\, mindful eating) and working towards greater fulfillment and providing for one’s own needs (the Compassionate Friend\, Fierce Self-Compassion gestures\, the Providing Self-compassion Break\, core values exercise).\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with a greater understanding of the importance of joy in their lives\, practical tools for cultivating it\, an increased awareness of what gets in the way and approaches to encourage more openness to positive experience. \n\n\n\nThe format\n\n\n\nThe workshop will be interactive and practice-based\, incorporating discussions\, reflections\, and experiential exercises. The aim is to create a supportive and nurturing environment for participants to explore their relationship with pleasure and delight\, and leave with tools and skills they can weave into their existing meditation practice or informally into daily life.   \n\n\n\nThe workshop will last six hours: \n\n\n\n\nMorning session from 10am to 1pm\n\n\n\nLunch break \n\n\n\nAfternoon session from 2pm to 5pm\n\n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\n\n\nThis workshop is suitable for those who have some experience of mindfulness or Mindful Self-Compassion\, as well as teachers and trainee teachers. \n\n\n\nThe facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\nZoe Shobbrook-Fisher\n\n\n\n\nZoe Shobbrook-Fisher \n\n\n\nZoe is an accredited counsellor/psychotherapist\, Certified Mindfulness and Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher\, Trainer and Supervisor.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Leadership Training course for health and social care leaders -Wednesday afternoon
DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Leadership Training for health and social care leaders. Compassionate leadership is linked with improved learning and innovation\, and reduced staff stress\, injuries and absenteeism\, and even reduced patient mortality. \n\n\n\nSix online weekly two-hour sessions from 22 April until 3 June (no session on 27 May). Following this\, there will be monthly follow-up sessions to review our learning and practice. The dates for these are currently being organised.  \n\n\n\nOverview \n\n\n\nAt the heart of compassion is the notion that everyone experiences difficulty\, and that we can all play a role in alleviating our own difficulties and those of others. Whether this is compassion for ourselves or the people we lead\, people who lead us\, colleagues or service users. We won’t always feel like helping and will sometimes be tired or overwhelmed or unable to connect. \n\n\n\nAlthough it helps to have positive feelings\, we do not have to feel compassion to be compassionate. We can recognise our physical and mental state\, resource ourselves as best we can\, and respond from our firm compassionate intention\, rather than from impulse or intense emotion. \n\n\n\nHow does this translate into compassion in health\, social care and other organisations? How might we think about compassionate leadership\, working with colleagues\, service users and their friends and families? Prof Michael West has spent his career answering this question\, pointing to research that shows how compassionate leadership is linked with improved learning and innovation\, and reduced staff stress\, injuries and absenteeism\, and even reduced patient mortality. In short\, compassion is essential to high quality healthcare. \n\n\n\nWho is the course for?\n\n\n\nThe course is for anyone in a leadership role in a health and social care organisation\, recognising that leadership occurs throughout health and social care roles\, and at different levels of seniority.  \n\n\n\nWhat is the format of the course?\n\n\n\nThe course combines in-session mindfulness and compassion practice with reflection and discussion\, as well as an invitation for home mindfulness and compassion practice to help cultivate compassion for ourselves and the people we lead and work with. \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\nClara Strauss\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClara is Co-Lead (Research) for the Sussex Mindfulness Centre. She is a consultant clinical psychologist\, mindfulness teacher and clinical researcher. In her research\, Clara is particularly interested in developing and evaluating new forms of mindfulness-based intervention\, especially for those people who may not be willing or able to access MBCT. Along with other members of her research team\, Clara has been evaluating mindfulness courses for people experiencing depression\, for people distressed by hearing voices and for people experiencing obsessive-compulsive disorder.  \n\n\n\n\nNicky Mouat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicky is a Mental Health Nurse and Mindfulness teacher. She works in the NHS at Pavilions Drug and Alcohol Service\, where she has been facilitating Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention courses\, and holding a weekly drop in for Service. Users and Staff. She has been teaching MBCT for the Wellbeing Service\, and Recovery College in Brighton. She was also part of the Myriad Mindfulness in Schools Research Project\, and was involved in teaching Mindfulness for Life to teachers in Sussex Schools. She has a particular interest in working with Service Users with ‘Dual Diagnosis’ (Substance Misuse and Mental Health Issues)\, and the way that Mindfulness can be helpful to this client group. \n\n\n\n\nBooking\n\n\n\nPlease note\, we ask all those who book a place on this course to fill in an application form here that will be sent to the facilitator. If you haven’t already\, please head here to the fill in the form. \n\n\n\nThe cost of this course is £200.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for living with cancer: Eight-week course - Thursday evenings
DESCRIPTION:This eight-week course uses mindfulness as a tool for self-care to support those living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis. It is designed to help improve wellbeing and give you tools to respond to the stresses and strains of everyday life. It is based on the original ground-breaking Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course.  \n\n\n\nOverview​\n\n\n\nReceiving a cancer diagnosis\, undergoing treatments and living with the ongoing possibility of a recurrence\, however great or small\, is a life-changing experience – things will never be ‘the same as they were before’. However\, this is the hope and expectation of those around us\, particularly once active treatment has come to an end. This can leave us feeling isolated\, unheard and plagued by thoughts of ‘what if’. \n\n\n\nIn this eight-week mindfulness course\, written specifically for those living with a cancer diagnosis by leading practitioner in the field\, Trish Bartley\, we explore our daily experiences. This is not counselling\, but is skills-based learning that offers tools to help you work in a more skilful and compassionate way with the day-to-day challenges we face. \n\n\n\nParticipants welcome talking about the impact of cancer on their daily life with others ‘who get it’ as opposed to friends and family. They are engaged by learning what this thing called ‘mindfulness’ is and how each of us can apply it in our daily lives\, as a form of self-care. \n\n\n\nAttendance at all eight sessions of the course is crucial\, as is the commitment to 30 minutes of daily home practice. Many of us will need to carve out this time from the busyness of our daily routines\, the various roles we play\, as well as our habitual tendencies. There maybe 101 reasons why we may not be able to commit to this. But then we may also ask\, ‘if not now\, when?’ Maybe this is the time to prioritise our own self-care. \n\n\n\nWho is it for? \n\n\n\nThis eight-week course is designed for both those living with and beyond the cancer diagnosis\, be it a recent diagnosis or many years ago\, as well as others also affected. This includes partners\, family members\, carers and friends. \n\n\n\nAll active\, hospital-based treatment needs to have been completed\, and participants will need the physical and mental presence to gain the best from the course. Each applicant will have 45-minute one-to-one meeting with the course tutor\, Chris Barker\, to discuss their unique situation and hopes for the course. This helps ensure that this is the ‘right time’ for such a significant undertaking\, and to ensure the hopes / expectations are in line with what this course typically offers. No charge will be made for those who do not progress with the course following this meeting. \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nEvery Thursday evening from 6.30-9pm\, starting on 16 April 2026 and concluding on 4 June 2026. An optional half-day retreat will take place from 10am to 2.30pm on Sunday 24 May 2026.  \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nThe course and retreat are both online. \n\n\n\nYou will get Zoom log-in details when your place is confirmed. \n\n\n\nThe format of the course?\n\n\n\nThe course involves:  \n\n\n\n\nOne-to-one pre-course meeting lasting 45-minutes with the course tutor Chris Barker.\n\n\n\nEight weekly two and a half hour classes including mindfulness practices\, discussion and exercises.\n\n\n\nOptional half-day retreat\, lasting four and a half hours.\n\n\n\nDaily meditation home practice of 30 minutes.\n\n\n\n\nThe course involves mindfulness meditation practices of up to 30 minutes in each group session\, and the same period of recommended daily home practice. These will be guided by the mindfulness teacher in each session\, and via audio recordings for the home practice. Links to the audio guidance will be shared by email\, along with weekly notes\, which together provide a rich resource during and after the course. Please note: no CD’s or paper copies will be provided. \n\n\n\nEverything is optional\, and you are encouraged only to do what feels safe and comfortable for you. The practices may involve lying down\, sitting\, walking and other forms of movement. In the sessions\, the mindfulness teacher will invite group members to share their experiences of practice. Again\, this is completely optional\, and you are encouraged to share only what you are comfortable with. The sessions will include smaller-group discussions\, typically with two to four people. These discussions will be in Zoom break-out rooms. \n\n\n\nNB: For all mindfulness work\, the connection between the people in the group is central to the discovery and learning process\, so please keep the camera on throughout each session. Sessions will not be recorded. \n\n\n\nFacilitator \n\n\n\n\n\nChris Barker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris came to mindfulness as a stressed Head of PE in a large secondary school. Despite his initial reservations that it was just “yoga and meditation\, that I couldn’t see myself doing” he was persuaded by colleagues to give it a try. It changed his life. Not overnight\, but by allowing every drop of mindfulness\, squeezed into every frantic day\, to permeate through his previously sceptical being!Now\, Chris predominantly shares mindfulness with people living with cancer and their carers and leads on this both for the National Centre of Integrative Medicine as well as providing support for fellow teachers via BAMBA. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nPlease note\, we ask all those who book a place on this course to fill in an an application form that will be sent to the facilitator. Click this link for the form. We will send applicants the booking link when it goes live. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any queries please contact us at spft.smc@nhs.net. \n\n\n\nThe cost of the eight-week course is £250. We also offer a choice of two other options: \n\n\n\n\n£275 – Supporting rate. You can support other participants to attend who are on a low income.\n\n\n\n£225 – Supported rate\, if you are on a low income and can’t afford the general admission price.\n\n\n\n\nAs part of our equity\, diversity and inclusion policy\, we also have a limited number of concessionary tickets available on a first-come\, first-served basis. These are for people who are facing acute financial hardship and who would otherwise not be able to attend. To request a concession ticket please email spft.smc@nhs.net. \n\n\n\nWe are striving to make our courses accessible for all.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for cancer: Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:An online day workshop for mindfulness teachers and those in training. Learning from the approach of working with people with cancer and those with life limiting or life threatening illness. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis workshop is led by Trish Bartley\, an expert in this topic and author of MBCT for Cancer\, Gently Turning Towards (Bartley\, 2012)\, Mindfulness: A Kindly Approach to Being with Cancer (Bartley\, 2017). \n\n\n\nThis masterclass will introduce you to the rewards and challenges of working mindfully with people who have had cancer\, or life threatening / life limiting illness. You will be encouraged to transfer your learning from the MBCT for Cancer approach to your own mindfulness practice and teaching. We will particularly focus on: \n\n\n\n\nGroup process including inquiry\n\n\n\nBrief everyday practices\n\n\n\nFour Movements of Intention\, Coming Back\, Turning Towards and Kindness.\n\n\n\nWorking with the body and anxiety in the context of cancer / serious illness\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop format\n\n\n\nThe masterclass will be facilitated through a participative and experiential process\, giving you lots of opportunities to try out practices\, exercises and approaches\, and reflecting on them in small groups. There will be an emphasis on offering a choice to engage in whatever is best for you and your learning. There will be some didactic process\, but most ‘teaching’ will come out of the group process reflections\, inquiries and exercises. We hope you will find the masterclass to be engaging\, varied and easy to participate within a safe and inclusive group process. \n\n\n\nThere will be a focus on ensuring your learning is transferable across to your own teaching\, whether you work with general public\, workplace courses\, offer drop in or short taster sessions\, or within specialist courses for particular populations. However\, this masterclass will not equip you to teach MBCT for Cancer directly – but hopefully it may whet your appetite to do so in the future! \n\n\n\nWorkshop content\n\n\n\nWe will explore a number of core practices\, guided in ways that meet the needs of people who have sensitivities in different parts of the body and challenges in the heart mind. We will also bring horizontal and some vertical inquiry into our process following practice\, to show ways of safely involving the whole group as we lean into a sense of normalising and common humanity. \n\n\n\nPeople who have had cancer or serious illness are apt to experience significant anxiety and distress at times– and tend to fall into patterns of anxious rumination. We will look at a model of health anxiety that is central to week 4 in MBCT-Ca – and show how Turning Towards gently and gradually can be transformative\, if held in a way that is grounded and embodied by the teacher. \n\n\n\nIf time\, we will explore various curriculum exercises special to MBCT for Cancer that also work well with other populations. These will include ‘The Blob’ – that explores a way that contraction can build to amplify difficulty – and ‘The Sea of Reactions’ – another exercise within MBCT for Cancer that works well online and in person. You will also be able to experience for yourself the way that brief practices can be used in class and in everyday life. \n\n\n\nWho is this for?\n\n\n\nThis masterclass is for anyone teaching mindfulness based programmes\, whoever they teach – and those in training to teach Mindfulness Based Programmes. It is relevant to those who are experienced and those who are just beginning. It is not necessary to want to teach people with cancer or serious illness in order to benefit from this masterclass. The session will be led in a way that enables the learning from this approach to be as transferable as possible to whatever context you work in. \n\n\n\nThe facilitator\n\n\n\nTrish Bartley\n\n\n\n\nTrish Bartley\n\n\n\nTrish Bartley has been teaching mindfulness to people with cancer since 2001 – working clinically in a North Wales hospital (and the local community) for over twenty years. She was supervised by John Teasdale for many years to adapt\, tailor and publish MBCT for people with cancer. (Bartley\, 2012). Later she wrote and published a book for people with cancer themselves Mindfulness: A kindly approach for people with cancer (Bartley\, 2017). Trish has also co-written Teaching Mindfulness Based Groups (Bartley & Griffith\, 2022) and is currently finishing Mindfulness and Cancer\, an update book to the MBCT for Cancer programme\, which will come out next year. \n\n\n\nTrish teaches for Mindfulness Network and Oxford in the UK\, several European mindfulness training organisations\, and sometimes further afield such as in China and South Africa. This includes general mindfulness pathway trainings\, specialist training around cancer\, groupwork training\, and leading retreats\, and offering supervision. \n\n\n\n\nCertificates\n\n\n\nThis masterclass is valid for ongoing personal development in mindfulness. Certificates of attendance can be supplied on completion of the day’s training\, if requested. \n\n\n\nHow to book\n\n\n\nYou can book for your ticket for this masterclass here.  \n\n\n\nAs part of our equity\, diversity and inclusion policy\, we also have a limited number of concessionary tickets available on a first-come\, first-served basis. These are for people who are facing acute financial hardship and who would otherwise not be able to attend.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for people living with dementia - Thursday mornings
DESCRIPTION:This eight-week course enables people living with dementia to improve their quality of life. The course is designed to help improve wellbeing and give you the tools to respond to the stresses and strains of everyday life. It is based on the original Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course\, which has a solid base of evidence that demonstrate it’s effectiveness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview​\n\n\n\nLiving with dementia can be challenging at times. Dementia affects everybody differently\, but it may increase the likelihood of anxiety\, stress\, and low-mood for some. You might have concerns about the future\, about memory issues and about your relationships. \n\n\n\nThis eight-week mindfulness course has been adapted to make it more relevant for people living with dementia. It offers skills-based learning and tools to help you manage and respond to the day-to-day challenges you face in a more compassionate way. You may like to invite a loved one or someone who supports you to join you on this course. That way they can benefit from the course too\, and you can do the home practice together. It’s always helpful to practice with someone else. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is it for? \n\n\n\nThis eight-week course has been adapted for people living with early-stage dementia. And you don’t need a diagnosis to sign up. You may invite a loved one or carer to attend with you\, if that would be helpful and they would like to. Both of you will need to apply separately by filling in the form below. \n\n\n\nThis course is offered free. We only ask that you help us with a pre- and post evaluation so we can assess the impact of the course on your wellbeing. This will involve a pre- and post evaluation form\, and we will be happy to provide support as needed. \n\n\n\nWhen?\n\n\n\nOn Thursday mornings from 10.30am to 12.30pm from 26 March 2026 until 21 May 2026. This includes a pre-course orientation session on 26 March for you to decide if mindfulness is right for you. And the eight-week course starts the following weekon 2 April and runs until 21 May. \n\n\n\nWhere?\n\n\n\nWayfield Avenue Resource Centre\, 2 Wayfield Avenue\, BN3 7LD. We will provide transport details\, maps and photos to you once your place on the course is confirmed. \n\n\n\nThe format of the course?\n\n\n\nThe course involves:  \n\n\n\n\nOptional online pre-course meeting with a course facilitator.\n\n\n\nPre-course orientation on 26 March at 10.30am to decide if mindfulness is for you. \n\n\n\nEight weekly two hour in-person sessions including mindfulness practices\, discussion and exercises.\n\n\n\nDaily home practice of up to 20 minutes.\n\n\n\n\nThe course involves mindfulness meditation practices in each group session\, and recommended daily home practice. These practices will be guided by the mindfulness teacher in each session\, and via audio recordings for home practice. Links to the audio guidance will be shared by email. Please note CD’s won’t be avilable. \n\n\n\nEverything is optional\, and you are encouraged only to do what feels safe and comfortable for you. The practices may involve lying down\, sitting\, walking and other forms of movement. In the sessions\, the mindfulness teachers will invite group members to share their experiences of practice. Again\, this is completely optional\, and you are encouraged to share only what you are comfortable with. The sessions will include smaller-group discussions\, typically with two to four people.  \n\n\n\nBefore applying for this course it’s important to consider if this is the right time for you. And also that you are free to attend the pre-course orientation and all eight sessions. There will be some suggested daily home practice too. Many of us will need to carve out this time from the busyness of our daily routines\, the various roles we play\, as well as our habitual tendencies. For our own self-care it’s important to prioritise this time. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\nLynn Ley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLynn completed her training in Mindfulness Based interventions at Bangor University in 2010. She has been facilitating Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Groups (MBCT) within Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust since 2008.  \n\n\n\nCurrently Lynn works with Sussex Mindfulness Centre providing supervision to trainee and trained mindfulness teachers\, supporting the training team and providing competency assessments for trainees at the end of their training. Lynn has a long-standing personal meditation practice which she has found life-enhancing. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJulia Powell \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulia Powell is a mindfulness teacher and coach. She leads mindfulness courses to help people find more balance in their lives\, improve their wellbeing and flourish. While caring for her mother who lived with dementia\, Julia used her mindfulness practice to support both of them. She wrote a blog to share her experiences. She now draws on that experience in the training she offers to both carers of people living with dementia and people with mild to moderate dementia. \n\n\n\nHaving trained to teach with Oxford Mindfulness Centre\, and taught with Sussex Mindfulness Centre\, Julia is registered with BAMBA\, the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nHow to apply\n\n\n\nTo apply you will need to fill in this application form. If you would like help filling in the form\, or have any queries at all please contact us at spft.smc@nhs.net.

SUMMARY:Compassionate Leadership Training for health and social care leaders on Monday afternoons
DESCRIPTION:Compassionate leadership is linked with improved learning and innovation\, and reduced staff stress\, injuries and absenteeism\, and even reduced patient mortality. \n\n\n\nThere are six online sessions on Mondays from 9 February until 16 March. Following this\, there will be monthly follow-up sessions to review our learning and practice. The dates for this are currently being organised.  \n\n\n\nOverview\n\n\n\nAt the heart of compassion is the notion that everyone experiences difficulty\, and that we can all play a role in alleviating our own difficulties and those of others. Whether this is compassion for ourselves\, the people we lead\, colleagues or service users. We won’t always feel like helping and will sometimes be tired or overwhelmed or unable to connect. Although it helps to have positive feelings\, we do not have to feel compassion to be compassionate. We can recognise our physical and mental state\, resource ourselves as best we can\, and respond from our firm compassionate intention\, rather than from impulse or intense emotion. \n\n\n\nHow does this translate into compassion in health and social care organisations? How might we think about compassionate leadership\, working with colleagues\, service users and their friends and families? Prof Michael West has spent his career answering this question\, pointing to research that shows how compassionate leadership is linked with improved learning and innovation\, and reduced staff stress\, injuries and absenteeism\, and even reduced patient mortality. In short\, compassion is essential to high quality healthcare. \n\n\n\nDr Robert Marx and Professor Clara Strauss have designed a training programme of six weekly sessions\, lasting two hours each. \n\n\n\nFind out more about Compassionate Leadership Training here. Hear from participants who have done the training in this short video. \n\n\n\nWho is the course for?\n\n\n\nThe course is for anyone in a leadership role within health and social care. It will combine experiential practice and reflection\, as well as home practice to help cultivate compassion for ourselves and the people we lead. \n\n\n\nCourse requirements\n\n\n\nTo participate in this course you will need to be able to attend all six sessions. You will need to use Zoom and to be in a private space (not in an open plan office) with the camera on throughout the sessions. This will help you and others to feel more comfortable and able to participate freely. A link will be supplied ahead of the course starting so you can check your equipment is working. \n\n\n\nPlease take some time to check that the technical aspects of joining on the Zoom link all work for you and make sure you read the guidelines here ahead of the first session. \n\n\n\nCertificate of attendance\n\n\n\nAttendance is required for all six sessions of this course. If you attend a minimum of four sessions\, you can request a Certificate of Attendance on completion of the course. You can request the certificate by dropping us a line at spft.smc@nhs.net. \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\nRuth Sequeira\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuth Sequeira is a senior trainer\, supervisor\, and mindfulness teacher for the Sussex Mindfulness Centre. She is also a psychological therapist and the mindfulness and compassion training and retreat lead at the Mindfulness Network. Ruth has a history of working in mental health services and until recently worked as a Clinical Lead in the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Sussex. Ruth has a longstanding interest in mindfulness\, meditation and movement\, and is passionate about increasing access to mindfulness courses in different populations. \n\n\n\n\nCatherine Cameron\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatherine is a clinical psychologist working within the community-based eating disorders service. She has a particular interest in self-compassion in eating disorders treatments. She co-facilitates the mindful self-compassion course for staff with Robert Marx having trained to facilitate the MSC course in 2014 and before that running MBCT-based Mindfulness for Pain courses in Hove Polyclinic. She is also involved in the mindfulness all day retreats run for those who have attended the eight-week courses within Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. \n\n\n\n\nAs a BAMBA UK registered teacher\, she follows the Good Practice Guidelines\, receives supervision for her teaching\, and attends regular retreats and training. \n\n\n\nWaiting list\n\n\n\nThis course is now full. If you would like to be added to a waiting list\, we can let you know if a space becomes available. We can also let you know as soon as our next course is available to book.
