Teacher
Iris Bell
The course is built on the eight-week programme that brought mindfulness into hospitals and schools, taught in plain language by a teacher who has led it twenty times.
You will learn one practice each week, try it at home with a short recording, and bring back what happened. By the last evening most people have a daily habit of about twenty minutes and a few short pauses they use without thinking.
Week by week
Open a week to see its theme. Every evening has a guided practice, a short talk and time for questions.
Noticing autopilot, and the body scan as a first way back to the present.
Tue, Oct 13
Where attention goes when you are not steering it, and how to bring it home.
Tue, Oct 20
