The formal mindfulness course. The early weeks concentrate on building our focus and awareness through concentration on the breath, and building mindfulness into daily life. We gradually move deeper, tuning in to our bodies, before exploring difficult thoughts and feelings.
After weeks 4 and 8, there will be an opportunity to reflect on the course and provide feedback.
