Description

Mindfulness is about drawing our attention to the present moment with openness, receptiveness and interest.

This course brings people together to explore and experience a range of skills, techniques and ideas about how to live mindfully. There are many ways this can be done, and this course will show you ways to connect with all five of your senses through interesting, fun activities and practices.

This course runs in two parts! Part A is 1 session long and covers an introduction to the topic. Part B is 3 sessions long and goes into more detail.
You MUST have done Part A to go to Part B.
