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 17th September until Thursday 5th November 2026

Mix of theory, experiential practice and group reflection
Course Includes:
- 16hrs of training (eight weekly sessions of two hours)
