Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (or MBSR) is the most recognised and well-established mindfulness course, born out of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. This eight-week course combines mindfulness meditation practices, gentle stretching and mindful movement, group dialogue and discussion, home practice and a full-day retreat. The full-day retreat will include a variety of mindfulness meditation practices, a shared silent lunch, tasty tea and an opportunity to connect at the end of the day.
A version of MBSR can also be taught one to one, so get in touch if this would be your preferred option.
Whether you’re looking to increase performance, resilience, emotional intelligence or focus, or to better manage stress in your organization, our corporate offering can help you and your team. We offer taster workshops, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction or MBSR, one-to-one training, customized mindfulness at work courses and keynote presentations.
But every business is different, so if you have a particular objective in mind do get in touch so that we can explore it together.
You can develop new ways to live more mindfully through a series of one-to-one sessions over Google Hangouts or Skype. We will review your needs together at an initial consultation, to be followed by six individual sessions where we will explore a series of mindfulness practices and the process of reflection and self-enquiry.
Eating mindfully is not about dieting or giving up anything at all. It is about bringing our full attention to what and how we eat, the experience of eating and our feelings, physical cues and behaviours around food. Through one-to-one, mindfulness-based eating awareness sessions, we will explore tools, practices and the science behind eating habits to change them.
If you want a presentation on mindfulness or the research on mindfulness for your event, conference or wellness week at work, get in touch. Adapting length and content we will find the most appropriate format for your event.
We all have times when we experience stress, along with difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can help us learn new ways of handling stress and all that comes with it.
Mindfulness based stress reduction, or MBSR, teaches participants how to practise mindfulness through simple meditation and yoga stretches, over a period of 8 weeks. Each weekly session runs for 2.5 hours, and consists of practical exercises, formal mindfulness practices, group discussions and didactic teaching. Between Week 6 and Week 7 there will be a 1 Day (6 hours) practice day.
Researchers and participants have reported the following as benefits of mindfulness training:
· Better ability to handle stressful situations and unpleasant events
· Increased concentration and creativity
· Greater insight and self-awareness
· Deeper relationships with oneself and others
· Improved physical health and wellbeing
· More energy and enthusiasm
Classes are small and friendly, with plenty of opportunity for sharing experiences, practicing together, and personal reflection.
Whether you’re looking to increase productivity, strengthen team-connection, manage stress or improve the general well-being of your team, we can help you achieve your goals. For organizations in all industries and of all sizes, trainings can be delivered in person or online, or a combination of both. We understand that different organizations present different challenges and cultures, that is why we bespoke our programs to successfully embedd a mindfulness practice in your team.

Introduction to mindfulness (taster session)
From one hour to your day, either online or offline, this is an informative and experiential session where participants can demistify mindfulness, hear about the latest research, and experience some simple practices. A good way to start the journey to mindfulness.
8-week mindfulness course for the workplace
This group-based course is designed to embedd mindfulness in your organization progressively through a combination of exercises, meditation practices and discussion around the practical applications of mindfulness in everyday life and the workplace.
One-to-one training
Aligning agendas can be challenging, so our programs can also be delivered on a one-to-one basis, face to face or online. Whether you are interested in a structured program with 50-minute sessions over a series of weeks, or individual meditation mentoring, we can tailor our programs to your needs.
All the above can be combined and timed to best motivate and support the adoption of mindfulness by your organization.
Finding a schedule that works for you can be tricky, so we also offer mindfulness in a one-to-one setting, in person or virtually. This can mean an 8-week course or regular mindfulness coaching for graduates.
We will explore your mindfulness needs at an initial consultation, which is followed by a block of six 50-minute weekly sessions. In between sessions there will be homework assignments to complete in your own time.
During the sessions, you'll be introduced to mindfulness practices and to the process of reflection and self-enquiry which is core of mindfulness.
Busy lifestyles often mean that our eating experiences do not measure up. Remember the last time you ate in front of your computer while replying to emails, or devoured a sandwich in between meetings. Not only do these situations often lead to choices that do not deliver nutritionally, but we also diminish the role of food in our happiness.
Growing research suggests that distraction while eating prevents us from enjoying what we put in our mouths. This seemingly innocent behavior has been linked to overeating, stress and increased anxiety. In the mindful eating sessions, design for everyone -with or without meditation experience- you can learn science-backed mindfulness-based eating awareness tools and practices to reconnect with your direct sensory experience when eating. People often discover that the flavor of common foods can be transformed by bringing a mindfulness to their meals.
In the workshops, you learn a new approach to food and eating:
· How to eat in a way that is more attuned to your body’s needs
· To experience the full pleasure and taste of food without overeating
· How to release the guilt and struggle often associated with dieting
· Why you overeat certain foods
· How to deal with cravings
· How to eat when hungry and stop when you have had enough
