Keeping your mindfulness practice alive
You will learn:
Through the weekly group sessions, led by Bernadette, and daily personal home practice, participants come to recognise their own emotional states and respond with greater awareness, kindness and intention. Bernadette supports each individual to develop their own practice from a diverse range of mindfulness-based tools. These tools include formal guided meditation practices like sitting meditation and the body scan, as well as daily informal awareness practices aimed at accessing the present moment through the regular activities of daily life such as mindful eating or mindful washing up.
