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!
