Mindfulness for Health and Stress
An 8 week Breathworks Mindfulness for Stress program.
Mindfulness for Stress course with LSMP/The Light and Leeds Mindfulness Cooperative
We are offering two 8 week courses on Friday mornings in October 2024 and January 2025 (2025 dates tbc)
On these free 8-week Mindfulness courses we teach skills and tools to support mental health and wellbeing. Mindfulness can help people regain perspective, manage overthinking and feel in control of their life. We share mindfulness practices and activities, explore ideas about how the mind works, learn short meditation practices and have space for discussion. At the end of this 8-week course participants will have a strong foundation in mindfulness and compassion and know how to apply them in their life. The course will be led by two experienced teachers from Leeds Mindfulness Cooperative. Additional one-to-one online mindfulness mentoring is offered where needed for anyone struggling to attend in person.
Where: The course is at Carlton Hill Quaker Meeting House, 188 Woodhouse Ln., Woodhouse, Leeds LS2 9DX
