Are you looking for a fresh approach to living well with pain, illness or stress? Transform your experience with a Mindfulness Course.
These mindfulness Courses are secular, evidence-based, life-changing opportunities for people living with pain, stress and illness to improve their health and wellbeing.
Most courses have around 10-15 participants who meet every week for eight weeks (two or two-and-a-half hours per session including a break). The sessions include guided mindfulness practices, teaching, discussions and workshops. Every week we ask you to do your best to complete daily home practice as this will help you to embed mindfulness into the fabric of your daily lives. We aim to create a supportive environment where you can explore and share your experiences building connections with like-minded people – often a real added benefit of the course.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Do you find yourself over-thinking and dwelling on the past and future? Do you find it difficult to switch off? Do you suffer from stress or anxiety? Come learn new skills to help you deal with life’s challenges. The eight-week MBSR course is an intensive skills-based learning programme, including a combination of meditation practices and cognitive exercises that show the links between thinking and feeling and how we can look after ourselves. The next course will be led by Parveen Poonia, a qualified and experienced mindfulness trainer with an MSc in Teaching Mindfulness from Bangor University.
