The 8-week course provides a foundation for your own meditation practices. If you are new to meditation and want to be supported in developing a regular practice, then this is the course for you. If you already have your own practice, the course will help you deepen it. It aims to assist you in dealing with what can be stressful and challenging for you and helps you to take better care of yourself and get the most out of your life.
The aim of the programme is to learn new ways to handle challenges in both work and study. The course is mostly practical with daily practice homework and some basic recommended reading. There's no academic credit associated with the course. The fee is subsidised (normal price £250) so make sure you book early (payment required at time of booking)
