Establishing a regular formal mindfulness practice is often regarded the most difficult aspect of undertaking mindfulness training. And interestingly research also shows us it is the most beneficial thing as well! We therefore run practice support groups once a month for people who have completed an eight week course.
These are ‘closed groups’ of regular people who find the commitment of a monthly group really supports them to embed learning and keep their mindfulness and self-compassion alive. We have a theme for each month which deepens understanding of a particular aspect of learning. We do plenty of guided practice during the session as well as giving time to explore the monthly theme through experiential exercise and discussion.
You can join either a Monday morning or a Wednesday evening group. There are groups meeting online as well as groups meeting face to face (in Meonstoke, Hampshire, SO32 3NP).
Ali researched participants’ experiences of these groups as part of her master’s degree.
