Date: 7 May to 2 July on Tuesdays 7pm to 9pm and all day on Saturday 22 June 2019
Location: Cowdray Hall (Chapel), Parkway, Easebourne, Midhurst GU29 0AW, West Sussex
Fee: £250 including 9 sessions, a retreat day, 5 recordings of guided mindfulness practices and a workbook.
This course is based on the original MBSR programme founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD, with added elements of MBCT, co-developed by Professor Mark Williams of Oxford University. These ‘Mindfulness-Based Courses’ are recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care excellence).
This programme is evidence-based with a coherent structure, offering a practical ‘tool box’ and lifelong skills. Sandrine’s course is limited to 9 participants; to create a safe and friendly group dynamic, to have more space in the room and give individual attention during and between classes.
Throughout the 8 week course participants will learn and explore:
- A range of mindfulness practices easily applicable in our fast-paced world.
- Meditations with recordings provided, ranging from 3 to 40mins
- Exercises aimed at becoming aware of the workings of our mind, noticing habitual thought patterns
- Lifelong skills to release these unhelpful habits, beliefs, self-criticism.
- Stepping out of automatic pilot, living more in the present.
- Developing greater awareness, stillness, compassion for oneself and others.
- Responding versus reacting to our emotions and life’s challenges.
- The effects of stress on the body and how to reduce stress and anxiety
- Mindful communication
- Bringing mindfulness into your daily life in a practical way and adapted to your situation.
This course is facilitated by Sandrine Cranswick, an experienced mindfulness teacher with over 25 years of meditation practice. Sandrine is listed on the UK Network for Mindfulness Teachers.
