Mindfulness 4 Resilience
Learn sustainable self-regulating skills to build resilience for the workplace and everyday life
Mindfulness 4 Resilience Course
The content for this 6-week course is drawn from the Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) curriculum (Jon Kabat-Zinn) and ‘Finding Peace in a Frantic World’ (Mark Williams, Danny Penman) curriculum.
Through guided practices, group dialogue and home assignments, participants will learn the essential principles of mindfulness and resilience to skilfully navigate challenges in a composed and responsive way.
Participants will benefit from building their own personal practice, and will be able to access the range of benefits well beyond the course.
“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”
Learning Outcomes 💡
A variety of formal and informal mindfulness practices, involving the use of breath and body as grounding mechanisms to strengthen awareness of the present moment.
Understanding the physiology of stress and how to restore inner calm through self-regulation techniques.
Working skilfully with patterns of worrying and self-criticism that are often the cause for stress.
Learning to shift perspectives and activate a more positive mindset
Cultivating inner qualities of acceptance and care
Learning to engage in intentional communication, to strengthen relationships and resolve conflicts mindfully.
Recognising the impact of life-style patterns and the need for self-care.
Integrating mindfulness in the work day for improved productivity, mood and energy level.
Course Structure
Each of the 6 sessions is 1,5 hours in a group-setting within your workplace environment.
The sessions build on each other, so it is recommended that participants attend all sessions.
The course is intended for a group size of up to 16 people.
Home Practice
It is key to highlight that the course encourages a commitment of about 20 minutes of home practice per day.
This is because the practice requires a repetitive form of mental training to have the desired impact.
Please ensure that participants are able to dedicate this time.
Handouts & Audio-guides
Weekly handouts including a mix of theory, practice guidelines and home assignments are provided.
Mp3 audio guides are also provided to support the home practice.
