Mindfulness is a skill, and new skills and insights are obtained by doing, by practicing rather than learning with the mind. Every session of the course includes:
- guided awareness and concentration exercises
- physical exercises
- sitting and walking meditations
In addition to that we take time to exchange practicing experiences, thus increasing awareness of our patterns.

Eight weeks

The program consists of eight sessions of 2,5 hours each, plus one full day. The program takes up to eight weeks: a period of time which is limited, however enough to develop the basic skills for mindfulness. After the last session you have developed the necessary tools to continue by yourself. Most participants integrate the awareness exercises in their daily routine. After the program you can sign up to follow up sessions.

Daily exercises

Training mindfulness is training a skill. Obtaining a skill, any skill, requires practice. While following the program it is important to practice the meditations, movement and awareness exercises at home daily. The homework experiences are being discussed during the sessions.

Reader

The program workbook consists of a work file with accurate information. After every session new information sheets are given to add to the work file. The information consists of inspiring texts, tips and lists. Participants will also get four cd’s with guided exercises and meditations for their home practice.

Clothes

It’s best to wear comfortable clothing that won’t obstruct the belly, in order to be able to breathe freely.

Physical demands

Taking part in the program requires no physical demands.

Training day

After six sessions there is an entire day to practice mindfulness. It’s a full day with guided meditations and exercises. It allows the participants to experience mindfulness on a deeper and more intense level.
