This four-week mindfulness course will give you a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of mindfulness and meditation, and insight into how to apply it in your everyday life.

In the first week, we explore what it means to keep calm. In week two, we explore the nature of attention, and how to improve it. In the third week we apply mindful awareness to making productive decisions (including procrastination and inner conflict). In the fourth week, we discover how mindfulness can enrich your sleep. 

The course is taught by Dr Elizabeth English, who also teaches the mindfulness courses at Cambridge University. Her approach focuses on developing the skill of letting go, coupled with wise choices. This allows for a relaxed approach to meditation, which avoids pitfalls such as forcing the mind or meditating in ways that makes meditation difficult to continue. With her particular interest in trauma therapies, Elizabeth is offers a sensitive approach to difficulties and painful experience .

By the end of this course, you will have learned to meditate in ways that feel enjoyable and enriching for you. The course will be interactive, and you will have the benefit of interacting in a small group of other interested learners. This course is also applicable for anybody wishing to refresh their meditation, or to deepen an existing mindfulness practice.
