What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of focusing the spotlight of our attention on the present moment, by staying in the here and now we can avoid the difficulties of the past or the worries about the future that often cause us distress. Mindfulness is about being aware and awake to the present moment, with a calm, curious and compassionate attitude, which allows us live life to the full.
Why Mindfulness?
Mindfulness has been proven to be beneficial to mental health in the right circumstances, participants report feeling less stressed, more relaxed, more resilient to life’s changes, an increased self-awareness and confidence and improved well-being.

However, mindfulness as a theory or idea is not effective, it is only as a practice that it can bring about personal change. Therefore, all of our courses are experiential rather than academic.
