Overview

About the course

About Mindfulness For Life

Through meditation practices and cognitive exercises,
this 8-week experiential programme helps reduce
suffering, build resilience and promote flourising.

The course develops skills to strengthen awareness of
the present moment. You learn to regulate your attention to be more present in your life, and not be caught up in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and
behaving, that can leave us feeling trapped. You learn
to skilfully respond to difficulty when it arises, as well
as savour positive experiences in everyday life, by
intentionally opening up to moments of joy, contentment and gratitude.

Mindfulness For Life (MBCT-L) is an evidence-based
curriculum of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, University
of Oxford – scientifically developed to reduce distress,
as well as promote flourishing. It is designed to be
accessible to everyone!

What to expect

Over the course of the 8-week period, we will explore and engage in the following key elements of the programme:

  • Formal Practice: Body Scan, Mindful Movement, Sitting Meditation
  • Specialised Practices to strengthen self-compassion and resilience: Befriending (loving-kindness), Working with Difficulty
  • Cognitive exercises to recognise the relationship between thoughts, mood and behaviour
  • Practices to incline the mind towards the pleasant in life
  • New habits and micro-practices for everyday life
  • Facilitated inquiry to deepen experience
  • Group sharing & reflections
  • A ‘Silent Day’ to deepen the practice and get acquainted with walking meditation
  • Regular home-practice (ca. 45 min per day)

Benefits

While the impact of this course and other similar programmes differs from person to person, participants generally report changes in the following areas:

  • Less worrying and obsessing over things
  • Improved ability to cope with pain and illness
  • Greater appreciation of what is
    pleasant and enjoyable in life
  • Feeling clearer about what is truly meaningful
  • Living life with a stronger sense of purpose
  • Improved overall wellbeing, even in difficult times
