Introducing Mindfulness - 3 wks Soul Spa
A gentle introduction to mindfulness over 3 one hour sessions - one per week
Service Description
You are invited to explore some key themes in mindfulness on the Introducing Mindfulness course - designed by world experts at the Oxford University Mindfulness Centre. This beginners' group aims to introduce you to the basics of mindfulness and meditation. We will guide you through gentle meditations and provide you with the tools to begin a home practice of 10 minutes per day. Join me on a journey of discovering a new way to bring support and balance into your everyday life and work. This course is not being offered as a treatment for any specific physical or psychological conditions. Please do not sign up for this training if you are currently experiencing severe problems in these areas (e.g. current depression, anxiety, psychosis and/or trauma). The sessions are in groups with a maximum of 8 people. They involve a combination of teaching, mindfulness practices, trying out what is learned in everyday life, and discussion. There are 3 weekly sessions lasting one hour each week. This is a structured course for adults where each session builds upon what has been introduced before. This is why it is important to attend all the sessions Each session will have guided meditation practices based on modern psychological theory. Each practice or exercise is followed by a review of what you and/or other participants experienced or discovered in that practice/exercise. This review does not include a discussion of participants’ past history. Each session is followed by suggestions for practice at home. This includes guided practices (digital copies of audio will be provided), and also ways to bring mindfulness into your everyday life. Each session (except the first) includes a review of the previous week’s personal practice. You will have access to a digital handbook and audio practices - material to support each session. The Soul Spa is a fabulous space in central Bath. The nearest (reliable to find a space) parking is either at Southgate or Avon Street Car Parks. There are good public transport options nearby. The Soul Spa is an old building and does not have wheelchair access - I am running the same course at Mulberry Park which does. Pricing - the standard price for this course is £24, but it is half price to those on low incomes.
