Home practice forms the primary mode of learning for all courses and you will be encouraged to set aside time each day for formal meditation practice, listening and practicing with CD’s, some short diary entries, and integrating mindfulness into your daily life.
MBSR & MBCT
My eight-week MBSR and MBCT courses are grounded in the research and practice of John Kabat Zinn and colleagues at the Umass medical centre, Massachusetts; Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy as devised by Williams, Teasdale and Zegal; and the work of the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University, Wales.
I offer three ways of learning mindfulness; participation in a group, distance learning and one-to-one.
All courses include:
- Eight weekly sessions, plus a full day of practice.
- Instruction in mindfulness meditation and gentle movement meditations.
- Facilitated dialogues to develop and support understanding and learning.
- Guidance and support tailored to participants individual learning needs.
- Daily assignments to encourage the integration of mindfulness into daily life and a custom made home practice guidebook to support learning.
- Three custom made guided meditation CD's/MP3's to support home practice.
