Stress Reduction through Mindfulness
with Sue Howse
October 8th - 10th (Fri - Sun)
£215 residential, £145 non-residential (concessions available)

The overall tenor of mindfulness practice is gentle, appreciative and nurturing.
Another way to think of it would be heartfulness. Jon Kabat-Zinn

The course will show you how to disengage the automatic pilot through a variety of meditation practices, training yourselves to pay full attention, on purpose, to the present, without judging. This enables you to live in the present moment, increasing awareness of bodily sensations, thoughts and feelings, so that you can manage them more effectively with a greater ability to relax and deal with stress.
