• Week one – introduction to mindfulness. We define mindfulness (what) and gain a first-hand experience of different mindfulness practices (how) and their relevance to everyday life (why).
• Week two – be right where you are. Staying present with your present-moment experience, raising awareness of the minds tendency to wander and learn how to bring it back to the breath.
• Week three – our story telling minds. Understanding the body’s reaction to stress, noticing thoughts and extricating ourselves from the stories we create. Mindfulness of sound and walking.
• Week four – cultivating kindness. What we pay attention to is as important as how we pay attention to it, this week we learn to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others.
• Week five – willingness to be with things as they are. Changing our relationship to pain and stress, developing the ability to observe without being swept away.
• Week six – moving forward. Deepening the practice and exploring what is next.
