At the Sussex Mindfulness Centre we run the eight-week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness for Life and Mindful Self-Compassion courses. We now also offer shorter courses to improve wellbeing, that offer more flexibility for people with less time.
All the courses we run for the public are advertised below at the bottom of this page.
Mindfulness
This eight-week course has been adapted for the general population, from Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. The course combines mindfulness with cognitive behavioural therapy. The course helps participants develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions and experiences, in order to cultivate resilience and prevent relapse in depression and anxiety. Find out more about our forthcoming courses.
Mindfulness for Life
Mindfulness for Life promotes greater resilience, wellbeing and flourishing. The course supports participants to get the most out of life. Find out more about Mindfulness for Life.
Mindful Self-Compassion
Mindful Self-Compassion teaches core principles and practices to enable participants to respond to difficult emotions with care and understanding. Find out more about Mindful Self-Compassion.
Finding Peace one-to-one
This eight-week course offers one-to-one support from an experienced mindfulness teacher, working through the programme set out in the best-selling book Mindfulness: Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World. It requires less daily practice time than for other courses, making it a flexible option for busy people who want to explore mindfulness and reduce stress. Find out more and how to apply here.
Taster sessions
We offer free taster sessions to give you a flavour of mindfulness. These tasters are informative and practical, and they may help you decide if you want to take mindfulness further. Find out more about shorter mindfulness courses.
Compassionate Leadership Training
Compassionate leadership is linked with improved learning and innovation, and reduced staff stress, injuries and absenteeism. This six-week experiential and practical course can help you be the manager you want to be. Find out more about Compassionate Leadership Training here.
