What's involved in the 8 week course?

Plant Growth - New Life

The 8 week course is a combination of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction as developed by Jon Kabat- Zinn  and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy as developed by John Teasdale.

The courses are taught in groups of up to 12 people in a  friendly and supportive environment. 

Each week a new topic will be introduced. We usually spend about half of the session in a meditation and the remaining time  engaging in discussion or learning other Mindfulness or  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Techniques . These are all  designed to enhance awareness and application in day-day life. 

We also spend a full day practising together as way of deepening and enriching your use of mindfulness techniques.
