3-Week Introduction to Mindfulness: Bonnybridge

A DEFINITION OF MINDFULNESS: "Paying attention on purpose, with curiosity and care".

In today’s modern world there are so many demands on our attention ,whether that’s 24/7 news ,social media ,constant notifications on our phone. Pulling our attention in different directions can leave us with a heightened sense of unease and anxiety.

Mindfulness training has the potential to allow us to take a step back ,to flourish and live more fully.

This 3 session (evidenced based course ) is built on the framework of the 8-week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) course ,which draws from ancient wisdom and modern psychology.

On this 3 session course we will focus on 3 key themes and practices ,exploring how they can support us in navigating the ups and downs of everyday life. Resources will be provided, including a handbook to assist with learning.

Anne Marie Gillies will be facilitating the sessions.

These sessions will run on 3 consecutive weeks, starting on Sunday 18th January from 2-3pm in The Place to Pause & Breathe, Bonnybridge. It's £50 to come along, with a reduced rate available. Please pick the price that best reflects your circumstances.
