8 Week Mindfulness Course with Anthony

Our Mindfulness Course is run over 8 weekly sessions where you will be supplied with notes and MP3s so that you can practise on the days in between classes. Through practice, you will begin to notice how distracted your mind is and how this can lead to anxiety and stress.

This course is suitable for beginners, as well as someone who has done an 8 week Mindfulness course before with another one of our facilitators. Sometimes doing the course again can enrich your practise and we hear things differently the second time around.

"Mindfulness is being in the moment, knowing what is happening in the moment, both in our own minds and around us, no matter what it is." Rob Nairn

You will become calmer, grounded and more focused as you create the habit of bringing your attention back to being in the present moment. Also you will learn why you get anxious or stressed, hear what the neuroscientists say about mindfulness and the positive effects it has on our brain when we practice it regularly. You will also learn about different applications of mindfulness. The courses teaches you techniques you can weave into your day, as well as look at the attitudes of mind that we can develop to become more mindful.

“Really enjoyable. Great environment, interesting and helpful techniques to experience… and great opportunity to meet new people” (Course participant)
