Mindfulness Practices: Tools for Everyday Life 8 weeks £72/£52 (which includes course materials and CDs)

Tuesday 15 January 07 3.15pm-5pm 

This course is especially appropriate for people who have experienced stress, anxiety or bouts of depression. Each session will include some gentle yoga, a period of meditation, and strategies to help us work with our thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations.

Although the course is held at the Glasgow Buddhist Centre it is entirely secular in nature. The course, based on a mindfulness approach, is designed to develop self understanding and provide a range of strategies to alleviate personal distress. It is for people who actively wish to make changes in the way they approach life: it is not for people who are at present acutely ill. Each week strategies are developed within a warm and friendly setting. The main pre-requisite for joining is a willingness and commitment to engage fully with the programme, which will involve practice at home before sessions (20 - 45 minutes a day)

Ratnadevi is a member of the Western Buddhist Order and an experienced yoga and meditation teacher.

‘Deepening our skills in mindful movement: understanding the spine’

Workshop Friday 8 February Edinburgh

A day of reflective practice for mindfulness practitioners and teachers.

Body awareness and movement practices offer a huge potential to expand awareness and bring us into our senses in the present moment. Many people who are now teaching mindfulness are mental health professionals who may have limited training and experience in movement education. This day is designed to help you build confidence in teaching movement and to expand your own body awareness so that you can embody this awareness for others.

Taught by two experienced movement educators and mindfulness practitioners, this day promises to be instructive, meditative and supportive. We will cover attitudes towards the body, injury prevention and how to adapt movement lessons for special populations such as those with back pain. The day will assume some knowledge of Mindfulness-based Stress reduction (MBSR).

Course Tutors: Ratnadevi- MBCT (mindfulness based cognitive therapy) and yoga teacher, experienced meditation teacher and retreat leader, musician, visual artist. Laura-Hope Steckler, Clinical psychologist, somatic movement therapist and body-psychotherapist, yoga practitioner, dancer and mindfulness instructor.

10 am – 5 pm. Friday 8 February, Gillis Centre Edinburgh cost £45 (excluding lunch which can be booked as an extra)

This retreat offers a nourishing combination of yoga, chi kung and meditation to re-centre ourselves and enjoy a felt sense of connectedness with all the elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) and with each other. The retreat may well give rise to the inspiration for personal and/or global change and there will be opportunities to design our own, creative rituals to support these changes. Getting out of the rut of old behaviour patterns can be hard; the power and fascination of ritual helps to establish new habits in our lives that are conducive to making our dreams come true.
