The Mindful Way Through Stress

4 week course Tues 29th Jan-19th Feb 7-9pm

 

This well- established programme  is based on the courses devised by Mark Williams, University of Oxford, Jon Kabat Zinn University of Massachusetts and the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University. It is designed to help you learn new ways of handling stress which you can integrate into your daily life.

 

The key skill you will learn is mindfulness – actively and non-judgmentally paying attention to  your experience in different contexts as you go about your everyday life. This will enable you to see things differently and to let go of unhelpful responses to situations you would normally find stressful.
