Live mindfulness sessions
We offer free mindfulness drop-in sessions online throughout the month.
Sustains and deepens
The live mindfulness sessions are led by experienced teachers and offer an opportunity to sustain your practice and to sample mindfulness. It’s also hugely beneficial to practice with others.
Live mindfulness sessions are online
These mindfulness drop-ins are absolutely free. As they take place online (Zoom) you can join us from anywhere.
Who are the sessions for?
These live mindfulness sessions are now open to all NHS staff across the UK whether or not you have any experience of mindfulness. The drop-ins are also available to staff of the Sussex Health and Care Partnership and anybody else who has done an eight-week mindfulness course with the Sussex Mindfulness Centre.

Not for clinical or crisis care
We 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.
During 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.
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.
Do 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.
