Practical Mindfulness

 ​
Practical Mindfulness is a fresh and engaging approach to applying mindfulness techniques and practice in your every day life and has been taught to groups and individuals in a variety of settings. It takes a different tack from the 6 week MBSR and MBCT courses which are often recommended as the best way to learn mindfulness, instead focussing on empowering individuals to work in ways that they can choose to apply as they wish. 

A ten week Practical Mindfulness course ran in 2016, for residents of Thanet aged 50+ through 
Ageless Thanet.  There are currently no dates for this course to run in 2018. However we do hope to run it again at some point and will post here when dates for future courses are confirmed. 

Should you wish to arrange a bespoke Practical Mindfulness course or one off session for an individual or a group you are involved with please contact Lorraine.  Sessions can be tailored to suit the requirements of participants.

It's simply about mindfulness practice and what it can do for you!

No previous experience is required but Practical Mindfulness instruction is suitable for both those new to the subject and those who are already experienced and have their own mindfulness practice.
 Covering:
  • practicing meditation together
  • experiencing and discussing different mindfulness techniques
  • mindfulness practice, focusing on silent and guided meditation 
  • the positive benefits mindfulness practice can have on our health, state of mind and relationships
  • group discussions about what mindfulness means, how we can practice it and how it can be helpful for us in our daily lives
  • mindfulness readings 
  • sharing mindfulness resources 
  • working towards participants developing their own regular mindfulness practice that they will find sustainable and enjoyable

Practical Mindfulness is led by Lorraine Williams, co-founder and leader of Open Meditation Thanet and Mindful Thanet.  

Note: 

Open Meditation meetings take place weekly and are free for course participants and the general public to attend, at Archive Homestore in Ramsgate, Wednesdays at 6pm).
