Mindfulness Scotland is delighted to have been funded by the Bank of Scotland to create this 6-week programme to support our well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a charity, we are now pleased to offer this April-May course free of charge to our NHS colleagues.
​
Since the course has been popular and previously oversubscribed we would like to offer places to those who can attend all of the sessions. Please consider your ability to attend each week before applying. 

Each 90 minute session will be delivered by Zoom. We will encourage you to practice your new skills between sessions and will support this with a course booklet and audio recordings. 

​Using the metaphor of a mountain, we will explore how developing a mindful approach to stress can help us remain steady and grounded in challenging times:

Base camp: Some of the key components of resilience and how mindfulness can help
Preparing for the journey: Settling the mind and placing attention
Map of the territory: Our body as a map of our current experience
Experiencing the weather: Acknowledging and working with our emotions
Supplies for the walk: self care, kindness and connection
View from the summit: Perception, perspective and staying steady

About the Course

The course will be delivered by Stephanie Wilson and Karen Glass from Mindfulness Scotland. Our hope is to share some aspects of Mindfulness practice which we have found to be of immense personal benefit, and which are supported by growing research based evidence.

Although we will draw on our experience of teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy programmes, we will be very grateful for your feedback to support further development of this new Resilience course.
