Introduction to Mindfulness
Become more resilient to stress by harnessing the power of mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a way to help you stand back from your thoughts, to gain some calm and perspective in the otherwise frantic world. Once you have learnt these skills you can then begin to use them in your everyday working practice. This experiential taster day will introduce you to the concept of mindfulness and to some of its most common practices. These will run throughout the day, giving you a greater understanding and appreciation of mindfulness and its application to your own life.
