About the Course

About the Course

Based on the best-selling book Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman, this course offers a clear, practical introduction to mindfulness.

It’s ideal if you’re:

  • New to mindfulness, or

  • Have tried apps or tools and want a more structured course with a teacher

The course includes eight weekly 90-minute sessions, plus around 30 minutes of home practice per day. Sessions are slightly shorter than other 8-week mindfulness courses, making it a good option if you’re short on time or want a gentler introduction or refresher.

The course is based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and is designed for adults in everyday settings, including the general public, workplaces, and universities.

The skills you’ll learn focus on improving 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.
