Mindful and Compassion Based Mental Health Charity
An 8-week introduction to mindfulness, based on the traditional MBSR and MBCT programmes.
The 8-Week Finding Peace in a Frantic World Course is a great introduction to mindfulness, based on the traditional eight-week MBSR and MBCT programmes but distilled into a slightly shorter format.
The course consists of eight 1.5-hour sessions with 20 minutes of home practice a day, using guided meditations, group dialogue and individually tailored instructions to help build a personal home practice.
Key learning points include mindfulness meditation practices, understanding the physiology of stress, recognising patterns of worrying and self-criticism, mindful communication, and practical self-care tools. No prior mindfulness experience is required, and a copy of the course book is usually included in the course fees.
