The importance of practice

As we will be working to change patterns which have probably been around for a while, many experiences of mindfulness and letting go will be required. The skills and knowledge you will be developing can only be learned through direct experience over time. Your willingness to engage in the practice – up to one hour a day where possible - is central to experiencing the sense of peace and resilience that the program can offer.

You will be well-supported by the instructor and the structure of the course to engage in the home practice daily.

Special considerations

If you have been grappling with drug dependency, psychiatric issues or intense trauma experience, please speak with the Co-ordinator. She will be able to explore with you whether the course is right for you at this time or what other supports you may require in order to get the most out of the program

Every person enrolling in the program will also have the opportunity for a phone interview with the teacher in which you can raise any issues or special needs regarding attendance at the course or the home practice.
