An 11 week Growing into  Mindfulness course beginning Wednesday 5th May 2020 6.30-8.30pm (continuing weekly at the same time.)

This is an extended Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Course delivered through zoom (small group 12 participants max). Cost £200 including the book the Mindful Way. (Some concessionary places are available, please briefly outline your reasons for requesting a concession on application).

This experiential course introduces us to the wisdom of mindfulness in a very practical way. Through it we can gain understanding into the way our minds work (not always in a helpful way) and learn various supportive meditational practices. We begin to worry less and enjoy our daily lives more. The MBCT was originally developed for people suffering from depression but research has shown the benefit for people suffering from stress, anxiety and the impact of chronic illness.

Each session of the course builds on the last so it is preferable to attend every week. The course supports participants to develop a mindfulness practice that can sustain them after completing the course. It is therefore important that attendees can commit some time (up to an hour daily) to do some meditational practice most days during the period of the course.

To ensure that this course is appropriate for you at this time you will be invited to fill out an application form and to meet the course teacher online. This will also be an opportunity for an introduction to the course and to check out any technical issues. 

This course is an approved initial course for participants needing to complete an 8 week course as a prerequisite for mindfulness teachers training courses through the Centre for Mindfulness research and Practice(CMRP) at Bangor University. 

Heather Bolton is an experienced teacher registered with BAMBA, (British Association for Mindfulness-based Approaches).
