The Mindfulness for Life programme has evolved from Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. The programme was developed to offer mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioural techniques to enable everybody to improve their wellbeing.
Overview
The online course guides participants in how to apply the learning in everyday life to manage what is painful and difficult and cultivate qualities such as compassion. It supports people to work with challenges, including recurring patterns of thought and behaviour that create suffering. It also supports our capacity to savour life and to flourish. Mindfulness for Life is an in-depth programme intended to cultivate lasting and sustainable change. Apart from the two-hour weekly sessions there is daily home practice, so it’s helpful to consider how you will fit this in ahead of taking the course. You can find out more about the course here.
