This four part program of study, meditation and practical exercises is a unique opportunity to learn the core aspects of Mindfulness in a condensed but authoritative way - and to build the techniques of Mindfulness into your daily life over a four to five week period in a way that's sustainable for the long-term.
The course is led by one of Nottingham's principal Mindfulness teachers, Shaun Glossop (who also hosts the Nottingham Mindfulness Group's popular open meetings), and it consists of the following four modules:
Week One: Mindfulness of Body & Breath
We begin by learning how to 'come home' to the body and to the breath, discovering that this skill-set is a powerful and highly effective way to find calmness and inner-peace amid the busyness, pressures, worries, and difficulties of modern, day-to-day life.
Week Two: Managing Difficult Emotions with Mindfulness
In week two we learn to better manage our emotions by applying the techniques of Mindfulness to the constantly changing flow of our emotional state (and we thereby learn that we can, in fact, manage our emotions - rather than our emotions managing us!). We also discover the keys that Mindfulness provides which enable us to acquire much greater emotional resilience in the face of life's challenges and upheavals.
Week Three: Clearing The Mind & Untangling From Thoughts In this week we learn how to cultivate a new relationship with our thinking, learning to relate to our thoughts as "just thoughts" (and not facts), and learning to 'step-back' from our thought stream in order to become the 'detached observer' of our thinking (rather than us getting caught-up and entangled inside our own thinking).
Week Four: Mindfully Engaging with Ourselves, Others & The World
To conclude, we learn how to live Mindfully in a broader sense, exploring how we can use the principles and practices of Mindfulness to transform and calm our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with the world around us - opening the door to greater joy, meaning and personal fulfilment.
Each week's course work and teaching will be available to all participants online (for more on this see the panel opposite, or below if you're reading this page on a phone) and there will be the opportunity for those who wish to do so to attend a weekly live class by webinar in order to explore the week's material as a shared experience in the company of other students, all under Shaun's expert tuition.
The course begins at 6.30pm on Wednesday 4th November (the time of the first live webinar class) and it runs through to the end of the fourth and final webinar class on Wednesday 25th November. Online resources will be available to all participants from the start of the course and they will then remain available to all participants online on an on-going basis after this.
