Mindfulness Foundation Courses 2014

This semester we're offering again the Mindfulness Foundation Courses for students and staff. These course have now started, but there are still places left. After next week it will no longer be possible to join.

Mindfulness Foundation Course
There is growing evidence that contemplative practices and mindfulness techniques have stress-reducing and health enhancing effects within a wide range of contexts. More recently there has been an expansion of the use of these approaches in Higher Education. Regular practice may enhance concentration and focus as well as a more general sense of well-being. This foundation course provides an in-depth introduction into the practice and theory of mindfulness. Booking essential. This course is part-funded by the Centre for Academic Practice. Cost for participants is £75 (Staff) / £50(Students)

Student Course: Fridays 31 January to 28 March 2014, 8:45-11:15am + Saturday 22 March 9:30am-4:00pm (led by Dr Michele Hipwell)

Staff Course: Wednesdays 29 January to 26 March 2014, 1:30-4:00pm + Saturday 22 March 9:30am-4:00pm (led by Dr Avinash Bansode – www.mindfullybeing.co.uk)
