Feedback from our recent Restore & Recover Course for Autistic Adults:
“This was the most informative useful course I have attended for some years. I learned so much about autism spectrum and neurodiversity, and how many symptoms can be managed better or eased with the practice of mindfulness and other coping strategies.”

It's my great pleasure to welcome Christoph Spiessens to the Yellow Beacon team.

Inspired by his own journey with mindfulness, Christoph has dedicated his career to teaching others how mindfulness can help them become more resilient. He organises the Manchester Mindfulness Festival, an annual event that serves the community through a comprehensive programme of research-based mindfulness talks, and also volunteers for The Mindfulness Network where he facilitates free sessions for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Christoph brings a wealth of skills and expertise to the organisation and will be supporting on our next GP Surgery course in Gorton in the new year.

We're now three weeks into our brand new Restore & Recover - Mindfulness for Autistic Adults courses, which we're delivering in person and online for residents in Stockport with Kay Locke from HAPI CIC.

This week, we were reflecting on the four zones of energy, discussing alexithymia and engaging in a range of mindfulness practices to support nervous system regulation.

The mandala making was a huge hit, helping us to experience a flow state, and a range of intricate and amazing designs emerged!

Did you know that as well as offering a range of free courses for our local communities, we also offer paid-for individual sessions. These are 75 minutes in length and we recommend a series of 8 in total, delivered weekly, fortnightly or monthly online.

Here's some feedback from a client we've been working with recently:

“I reached out to Yellow Beacon to see if they could support me in coping with the severe anxiety I was experiencing as a result of a prolonged bout of compassion fatigue. Having never undertaken any guided mindfulness practice before, I didn’t know what to expect. However, I can honestly say that the experience has been transformative and life-changing for me.

The sessions were completely tailored to my needs and created a very safe environment. Initially, I was skeptical about trying this type of practice due to common myths surrounding it, but all those doubts were quickly dispelled. By simply being willing to learn and keep an open mind, I found that this approach worked for me.

One of the most important lessons I learned from my practitioner, Kirsty, is that there is no right or wrong way to practice mindfulness. It’s okay to pause and return to it if you feel overwhelmed. This understanding has been profoundly beneficial in helping me manage stress.

I strongly urge anyone to give Yellow Beacon a try. Keeping a curious and open mind can make all the difference, just as it did for me.”
