The practice of mindfulness can equip anyone with capacities like resilience, self-reliance and discernment for understanding and responding to life with greater meaning and potential.

This workshop is designed to help develop that understanding - how by being mindful we can transform our confusion and unhappiness into mental composure, clarity and wellbeing: in short, how mindfulness enables us to treat our own minds.

Begin to learn about mindfulness and practise it through training in meditation techniques supported by information, instruction sessions and discussion.
