SHORT MBCT COURSE

MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY
BOOK

MBSR COURSE

Perhaps you would prefer to slowly immerse yourself with a shorter programme and classes as well as briefer meditations. The ‘Frantic World’ course is a gentler introduction to establishing a mindfulness practice and is especially suited for those on busy schedules or who are looking for a more gradual, but effective approach.

This course is an abbreviated version of ‘MBCT’ low dose. Prof. Williams of Oxford University developed a low-dose version of his MBCT programme outlined in the best-selling book: “Mindfulness: finding peace in a frantic world”.  This has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide in 19 languages and one in eight of households in the UK are reported to hold a copy. And The BeingWell brings this book to life in a class format that you can enjoy and discuss with others.

This course emphasises practicality for busy people or those looking for straightforward and simple yet powerful practices.This is a ‘low-dose’ course with strong effects. This curriculum has ordinary people in mind to help them live more vitally in a fast-paced, frantic and anxiety provoking world.

8-WEEK OUTLINE

07. BEGINNING AGAIN

The beginning of the rest of your mindful life. How to bring a fresh commitment to your well being and establishing a life that is more mindful. 

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

Learning to meditate in the sessions within a group of up to 10 people (you can also enquire about private tuition to do the course 1-2-1 or with a couple of friends).

For each of the first six weeks of the programme, you will learn a new meditation in class. You will then need to put around 30 minutes of time aside each day to practice.

Doing simple home practice reflections on your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences. You do not need to share this with anyone, but you can discuss some of it in class if you wish to.

Talking about your experience of meditation in the group sessions. However, there is never pressure to share your experiences and you are welcome to be an active listener rather than participating through speaking. This is also not group therapy and we only discuss personal experiences in relation to learning mindfulness. 

Doing gentle physical movement. Please let the teacher know if you have any physical limitations.
