Mindfulness for Life course

Mindfulness for Life 8-week course (sometimes also called MBCT-L) blends the ancient wisdom of mindfulness with cognitive-behavioural techniques in ways to help you integrate mindfulness into your daily life.

It’s an in-depth, skills-based course created to help you cultivate lasting, sustainable and positive change. It offers approaches to support you with challenges, including recurring patterns of thought and behaviour that can create suffering, and also to help you savour life and flourish.

In this course, you’ll learn:

• To recognise the tendency to be on automatic pilot and how stepping out of it, by bringing mindfulness into our daily lives, can help us to live our lives more fully.

• To notice how often we are lost in our thoughts and feelings and practices which help to recognise this and help us to ‘gather the scattered mind’ and return to the here and now.

• How mindfulness can help us to recognise when we’re caught up in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and acting, understand them and bring kindness to them.

• Skills for keeping our balance through life’s ups and down and for responding skilfully when difficulties arise, engaging with what is most important to us and opening up to joy, contentment and gratitude.

Sessions are group-based and take place weekly over the 8-week period. The course also includes a 5-hour ‘Day of Practice’ (Saturday 21 June 2025).

What to expect on this course

Each of the 8 group sessions has its own theme and follow a consistent pattern. After greetings and getting settled, you’ll begin with a guided meditation, followed by reflection and discussion around the experiences of the practice.

There’ll then be space for you to share your experiences of the home practices from the previous week. The weekly theme will be woven into the discussion.

Often, there’ll be another short practice or a cognitive exercise and time to reflect on any learnings. Near the end of each session, the home practices for the following week will be explained to you.

You’re also encouraged to continue to practise mindfulness between each taught session. Your teacher will provide recordings for the main practices and ask you to practise up to 45 minutes each day.

This involves a mixture of following the recordings of guided practices, and bringing mindful awareness into your everyday activities.
