Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
An 8-week course to support you in bringing mindfulness into your everyday life
Course tutor: Andrea Durant
Course dates
Monday Afternoons:
Mindfulness
This course follows the model designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in the late 70’s to ease the suffering of patients experiencing chronic pain. MBSR has a wide range of applications for people experiencing pain, anxiety and stress. There is a growing body of research evidence regarding its usefulness. In the UK, the Mindfulness All Party Parliamentary Group has recently published a report Mindful Nation with recommendation for developing mindfulness in public policy.
The course
Each group session builds upon the previous one to introduce and practice a range of mindfulness practices. It is, therefore, important that participants commit to attending all the sessions and to a daily home practice of 45 minutes. Whilst this commitment may seem of a high order, you may chose to see it as a rare opportunity to invest in the quality of your life.
These 8 sessions help us develop a new relationship to ourselves where we can live life to the full, as it is, and be able to make changes that may be helpful and healthy and improve the way we communicate with people at home and at work. Mindfulness offers us a way to adopt a greater attitude of acceptance to the things that we just cannot change; to become more familiar with habits and patterns of thinking and behaving and to adopt a more accepting approach to every experience be it pleasant or unpleasant.
If you are interested, there will be a brief telephone interview to make sure this course will suit you at this particular time.
Practicalities
The cost is £190 for the 8 weeks (including course material).
50% discount for those who have already completed an MBSR or MBCT 8-week course
