Mindfulness Meditation 8 Week Course in Silverdale
When life is unpredictable anxiety, stress and tension are natural responses, unless we know how to create inner safety and inner calm
About this Event
Mindfulness is a very potent way to support yourself and give both body and mind a break from living in the "Red Zone" of stress and overwhelm. It's an antidote of sorts to anxiety, difficulty concentrating, poor health or performance and more.
There are now over 4000 published research articles attesting to the therapeutic benefits of meditation for a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. They also show that it works to complement most forms of medical treatment.
The Course:
This 8 week course offers a thorough grounding in the what, why and how of Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), an internationally - recognised method developed by leaders in the mindfulness and meditation field. Each 2 hour class involved a mix of learning, discussion and practice. And each week builds on the previous one, so that by the end of the course, you have a robust basis for a beneficial personal practice.
Course dates: 7 - 9pm, Wednessdays, beginning 29 July
Venue: Stoney Homestead Community Hub, 12 Galbraith Greens, Silverdale
Limit 12 participants
