Workshops

Introduction to Mindfulness

This is a 6-week programme, providing a solid introduction to mindfulness and take-home tips that will benefit the student and those who support them.  The course is based on the 7 principles of Mindfulness from Jon Kabat-Zinn.  Each week has an overall theme that we will build upon as the course progresses.

Topics as an example may include…

 Choice

 Anxiety and staying present; the power of the breath

 Beginner’s mind; seeing everything, as if for the first time

 Letting go; acceptance

 Gratitude

 Awareness; thoughts, feelings, emotions

 

Together with the broader topic, each class will include focused relaxation, a short meditation, open discussion and additional exercises depending on the progression of the students.  

The course will be delivered in a fun and interactive way, shining a light on respectfulness and awareness.  The course is very much tailored to the students in each school / college / workplace so a consultation with day-to-day decision makers will determine the following;

 Class length and time tabling

 Gender mix (if applicable)

 Class size

 Content (if specifics are required)

“Thank you so much, I don’t know what I expected. I suppose to get some sort of direction on where I needed to go but I probably thought I’d be doing it in a different way – I really enjoyed the practical and systemic work and all the advice I got about social platforms etc.  I have lots to work on so thank you very much!”

“I really didn’t know what to expect, I came, and I found it to be a very welcoming, friendly environment, not the usual ‘business seminar’.  I felt at ease, it gave a different perspective to look at the business and my role in it.  Even working with the other business owners, whilst they are in completely different businesses, I could identify with the challenges and the possible solutions.”

“I had no expectations of the day except to take a step out of my business for the day!! I thought if I learn something that would be fantastic and of course I did!  What it did for me was to clear my head, so that the emotion of what’s going on was able to be put aside and offer clarity.  I need to work on setting my boundaries, thank you.”

“Today showed me that there is lots to work on but I don’t feel overwhelmed by it, I’m so grateful for getting to the course and meeting all the people on the course, I’ve got renewed enthusiasm and I’m so excited about my plans, I’ll definitely be back for the next workshop! – Thank you”

“I’ve been on business courses before and I always come away with so much information but I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do with it or take out of it but today was different; broken down so that at the end of the day I have things that I want to do, things that are clearly outlined and achievable.”

“It didn’t feel like I was preached to or told what to do, actually I probably knew what to do but I didn’t have clarity.  It was mirrored back for me to decide what I needed to do and that makes it easier for me to move on and achieve, I’m excited!”
