Based on the best-selling book Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Professor Mark Williams and Dr. Danny Penman, this course offers a structured and approachable way to learn mindfulness.
It’s a practical and engaging introduction for beginners or those who have tried mindfulness apps or other tools and now want a more structured course with a teacher.
The eight, 90-minute sessions (and 20-minute home practice) are slightly shorter than other 8-week mindfulness courses, making it a good fit if you’re short on time or looking for a less intensive introduction or refresher.
This is course is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), but it was designed for adults in various settings including the general public, the workplace, and universities.
The skills you’ll develop are aimed at boosting well-being and resilience to stress.
What to Expect on this course
This group-based course runs over 8 weeks.
Groups are kept small (up to 16 participants) to create a supportive and engaging environment.
Each session covers specific themes, including:
Waking up to the life you have
Gathering the scattered mind
Relating differently to thoughts and worries
Practising kindness
Exploring what nourishes us
Each session builds upon the skills and understanding developed in previous sessions so it’s important to attend all if possible.
They will include guided meditation practices, exercises, group discussions, and time to review homework.
To get the most from the course, you’ll need to dedicate time to these practices between sessions. These include formal practice (mindful meditations) and informal practice (ways to cultivate and weave mindfulness in everyday life).
You’ll also receive audio files with guided meditations and written materials (PDF format) to support your learning.
