Supported by four one-to-one sessions with a mindfulness teacher
This eight-week course follows the programme outlined in the bestselling book of the same name. Largely self-directed, the course includes four one-to-one, online live sessions with an experienced mindfulness teacher.
Overview
This eight-week, self-directed, mindfulness course uses as the basis, Mark Williams and Danny Penman’s best-selling book Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World.
Experienced teacher, Ruth Sequeira will support you with four one-to-one online 30-minute sessions helping you to follow the course. The sessions will take place at a time to suit you, every fortnight throughout the eight-week programme. In between sessions, you will be invited to follow the course on your own. There are suggested practices and exercises to be done daily throughout the course, so it would be helpful to allow around half-an-hour a day for these.
Who is the course for?
This programme offers a highly accessible, engaging and practical introduction to mindfulness. It is suitable for beginners who want to learn flexibly.
Course format
All individual sessions will include brief guided mindfulness practices.
Session 1: In the first session we will explore what is mindfulness? You will be guided in how to use the book throughout the eight-week course. After this session, you’ll be ready to begin the programme.
Sessions 2 and 3: The content of sessions 2 and 3 will be orientated around your personal learning, how this is integrating into your life and offering support around any challenges along the way.
Session 4: In the last session, we explore what you want to take forward, and what want to remember? We’ll explore ways to support your ongoing practice
