Life is hard sometimes. It can feel like a lonely struggle, but we’re not alone. Every day we are confronted with stressors (the bus is late, a conflict with a loved one or colleague, technical trouble). In this course we will learn that rather than being reactive, we can respond skilfully to the inevitable stressors of everyday life. 

Come, take this course and learn concrete practices you can turn to in times of trouble, such as:

 

• Responding rather than reacting to stress

• Mindfulness in nature

• Mindful self-compassion

• Long, slow, deep breathing

• Gentle movement

• Joy and Gratitude practices

• Slow Tea Sipping and Savouring Chocolate!

 

What: This 22-hour course is a beautiful opportunity to deeply integrate mindful stress reduction approaches, and cultivate calm and clarity. It includes eight 2-hour classes, as well as a 6-hour Day of Guided Silence where you can put all your new tools to practical use, and taste the sweet goodness of the gathered mind.
