Mindfulness courses
We offer two free courses - Introduction to Mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction that run a number of times over the academic year.
Introduction to Mindfulness promotes taking control of your wellbeing and happiness in a practical and proven way by rediscovering an authentic enjoyment of your life. It is suitable for any student who wants to explore mindfulness and learn some useful techniques.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction uses a combination of meditation, body awareness and teachings on stress to diminish the tendency of the mind to rule us through impulse and habits. It teaches us to make choices that are more conscious and less reactive, becoming more understanding and responsive in our relationships with others and calmer.
