Course Description:
How It Works
Balance & Serenity
We invite you to take a moment to pause and consider what brought you to this point. What is in your mind and heart and body that caused you to bring this web page on to the screen of this computer? You might pause for 10 or 20 seconds to get a clear sense of what led you here. More than likely, you quickly identified a “problem” or “challenge” that you face in your life. This is something that causes you to suffer in some way, physically, emotionally or spiritually.
Practice
You’ll take what you’ve learned in the Teachings and put it into practice. With effective exercises from the instructor,the principles are presented in such a way that they can be applied to your day-to-day.

Retreat Setting
This residential/retreat setting for the MBSR ‘8-Week Course’ benefits from intensity created by its retreat context which compensates its shorter duration. Because of this it is very important to give special attention to engaging in it as a ‘retreat’. This will be explained in full at the start of the course but it will mean you will be invited to restricted use of mobile phones, internet and reading materials and engage in periods of community silence.
What are the benefits
- The aim of the course is to learn new ways to handle your moods and emotions.
- It teaches you to take better care of yourself and to live your live in a fuller and healthier way.
- It promotes a way of being that helps you tackle life problems – physical, mental, social and emotional
- Learn to be aware of the small changes in the physical sensations in your body; what is happening in the world around you (using your physical senses) and your thoughts, emotions and moods.
- Develop the skill of being aware of your experiences (good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant) from moment to moment -so that you can learn to respond more skillfully to situations rather than simply reacting automatically.
- Overall, the course is often helpful in dealing with an ongoing difficulty – the problem may not change but the way you can learn to relate to it differently.
- Session 1 - Introduction
- Orientation and welcome to MBSR. Meet your classmates, instructor, and review logistics and expectations for the course. Introduction Mindfulness and the Awareness of Breathing meditation practice.
- Session 2 - 'Living in our Heads'/ Working with Barriers
- In mindfulness the initial invitation is to simply acknowledge the actuality of the situation we find ourselves in - without being immediately hooked into our automatic tendencies to judge, make assumptions, fix, or want things to be other than they are. Introduction to the Body Scan practice
- Session 3 - The Power of Being Present - 'Gathering our Scattered Mind'
- Responding versus Reacting, introduction to mindful movements and walking meditation.
- Session 4 - Patterns of Reactivity to Stress / Recognising Aversion
- Stressful things are part and parcel of life itself. It is how we handle these things that makes a difference to the impact they have on our lives. Becoming more aware of the thoughts, feelings and body sensations evoked by events gives us the possibility of freeing ourselves from habitual, automatic, ways of reacting, so we can respond in more skillful ways.
- Session 5 - Coping with Stress; Responding vs Reacting
- Using mindfulness you´ll learn lifelong skills to take personal and social responsibility for your health, happiness and success while also being compassionate, empathetic and inclusive of others.
- Session 6 - Stressful Communications / Thoughts are not Facts
- whether with family, friends or people we work with – can be among life’s most consistently challenging experiences; yet the majority of us would say that relationships are the most important aspects of our lives.
- Session 7 - Lifestyle Choices – How can I Take Care of Myself’
- What we actually do with our time, from moment to moment, from hour to hour, from one year to the next, can have a very powerful influence on our general well-being and our ability to respond skillfully to the challenges of our lives.
- Session 8 - Keeping your Mindfulness Alive!
- Developing Intention - A Mindful Life + Energising v Depleting Activities Plan.
