🚨New dates available 🚨

Mindfulness Based Living – access the 8-week course 🌟

Mindfulness is an innate capacity of the mind to be aware of the present moment in a non-judgemental way. It promotes a way of being that helps us to take better care of ourselves and lead healthier lives. It also enables us to access inner resources for coping effectively with stress, difficulty and illness.

The Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) is on offer to health and care staff working/volunteering in the North East and North Cumbria, to explore its effectiveness as a self-care strategy.
