About this Event

The Embodied Practitioner - A Deeper Journey Into Mindfulness & Compassion - both in-person and online available



Introduction:

This course is geared towards those with an existing mindfulness practice, keen to take their practice to the next level towards the daily embodiment of mindfulness and compassion.

After completing an initial training course (MBLC, MBSR, MBCT or other), many people find it a challenge to maintain consistency or build upon the original training, so we believe this course is the perfect next step to help practitioners deepen and fully integrate mindfulness into daily life.

The course will help participants:

  • Gain more emotional control (feelings and reactions)
  • Increase physical regulation (managing energy, breath control, tuning the nervous system)
  • Further cultivate kindness and compassion towards self and others
  • Open up to a joyful life
  • Develop a greater awareness of the mind so that mindful choices can be made in all areas of life



Course Particulars:

Outline: 8 Weeks from Thursday 14th May until Thursday 2nd July 2026| sessions running from 4.30pm - 6.30pm | mix of theory, experiential practice and group reflection

Course Includes:

  • 16hrs of training (eight weekly sessions of two hours)
  • Course Manual and audio downloads for home practice
  • Week to week tutor and peer support
  • Ongoing support through online community
