Mindfulness course: Thursday late afternoons

October 10, 2024 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm BST

£250.00

This eight-week course combines mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioural techniques to help reduce low-mood and anxiety. There is increasing evidence that this eight-week mindfulness course is effective in reducing other mental health issues and improving wellbeing and resilience.
The course helps participants develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences which in turn helps cultivate resilience and reduce depression and anxiety. This mindfulness course was designed originally to help people who experience repeated episodes of depression to prevent relapse. However, it is now recognised as an effective treatment for existing mild to moderate depression (not just preventing relapse) and also helps improve wellbeing and resilience.
WHEN: Thursday late afternoons, 4.30pm-6.30pm, starting 10 October to 5 December 2024.
WHERE: Online. You will get log-in details when your place is confirmed.
FORMAT: Two-hour orientation session at the start to help you decide if the course is right for you
Eight weekly two-hour classes (nine weeks in total including the orientation) including mindfulness practices, discussion and exercises
Daily meditation home practice of between 20 to 40 minutes
