PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE

o        Introductory presentations:

o        Still not sure about Mindfulness and whether it’s for you?  What you’ve read so far sounds interesting, but you’re not sure whether you can commit to a more intensive program?  Why not attend an introductory information session to hear more and to be able to have your questions or concerns addressed.

o        Arrange a very interesting, informative talk about Mindfulness for your friends or work colleagues. These can be tailored to suit your requirements – from one hour ‘lunch & learn’ sessions, or something longer, or a keynote speech for larger audiences?  Presentation evaluations have always been exceptional.  Ask us about that.

o        Workshops/retreats:

o        A two to three hour workshop will give participants a much deeper explanation as well as the chance to experience an Mindfulness exercise.  This might form part of a professional or staff development day.

o        Half, full or multi day retreats are very powerful ways for people learn or deepen their Mindfulness skills.

o        Eight to ten week corporate or group training programs/courses,

o        Mindfulness is not unlike physical fitness – it requires patience and practice over a period of time.  Eight to ten week programs allow participants enough time to practice in a highly supportive environment, to achieve significant benefits for themselves. Most of the scientific research on Mindfulness, as well as our own data, has been based on eight week programs. 

These programs are structured very much like many other courses.  Participants attend a weekly class, and are expected to do about 30 minutes of homework or practice daily. The homework exercises are modified each week to gently, but firmly help them cultivate the skills of Mindfulness more quickly.

o        Personal coaching/counseling.

o        There could be many reasons – including the desire for confidentiality, or inability to attend regular classes due to lifestyle scheduling problems - why some might prefer individual or personal coaching in Mindfulness.  Individual instruction has advantages over group experiences.  Instruction is interactive and can be tailored to the specific learning needs of the individual. Blockages to progress can be more readily identified and appropriate adjustments made. Uncomfortable topics that may be uncomfortable in group settings, can be discussed.  Meetings can be booked at times and places to suit your particular schedule.  Some sessions can also be done by phone where face to face meetings are not possible.
