Mindfulness is an approach to living rather than a technique. It is about living in the present moment, about being more awake and alive to our lives rather than operating from a sort of ‘automatic pilot’ in which we can be cut off from aspects of our experience.
How does the Mindfulness Programme work?
You learn new and more effective ways of handling your moods, as well as emotions, by:
Becoming more aware of small changes in your thoughts, feelings and body.
Learning to disengage from trying to ‘fix’ things and repeated self-critical thoughts.
Establishing your own mindfulness practice.
Extending mindfulness to your ordinary activities and to stressful situations.

What is the Mindfulness Based Training Programme?
The Mindfulness-Based Training Programme is open for everyone interested in practising and training in Mindfulness. It offers an excellent foundation for understanding and practising mindfulness meditation both in a direct practical way and also within a group setting. It can offer an insight for many in cultivating a different kind of relationship (based on acceptance and kindness) with oneself and others.

The Training Programme is intended to help in pragmatic, practical ways, and facilitate us into realising and accessing our existing inner understanding.
