Finding Peace in A Frantic World program

Finding Peace in A Frantic World is an eight-week mindfulness training program which is evidence-based, practical and empowering. It was created by Professor Mark Williams from Oxford University with Danny Penman.

Openground was, and is proud to be endorsed by Professor Mark Williams in 2015:

“Following the successful implementation of the transformational eight week mindfulness program in the UK Parliament, I’m excited Openground is bringing this program to organisations and government in Australia. I have great confidence in Openground and its teachers to uphold the integrity of this program. Knowing the quality of work of Openground, as I have for the last 6 years, I look forward to following the successful unfolding of this program in Australia.”

This user friendly program provides individuals with the personal insights and tools to become more focussed, productive, happier, healthier and resilient in work and life. We assist people to realize their potential for making a meaningful and effective contribution in their work lives by performing at the highest level despite working in demanding environments

The program has been forged by an integration of transformative mindfulness practices with contemporary scientific understandings of human functioning. Central is the cultivation of clear, stable, non-judgmental awareness. Such awareness increases the ability to be present, regulate unruly emotions, increase cognitive capacity and respond effectively to the immediate challenges of work and life.

This program is engaging, informative and practical. In addition to learning a basic scientific foundation you will get tools and processes that you can immediately use. The program is guaranteed to create a positive attitude and sense of optimism as well as change behaviour.
