Many of us live our lives on automatic pilot, trying to get keep the kids under control, the house in order, keeping fit and healthy, all whilst holding down busy, demanding jobs!

We want to make our wellbeing a priority, but there just isn't enough hours in the day. Rarely do we allow ourselves to pause or slow down for a moment of peace in our busy lives.

Mindfulness practice can train our minds to know when and how to pause and step back from the busyness of life. We can cultivate moments of peace and happiness, boost wellbeing and reduce stress and it can be done in manageable bite sized pieces.

In this interactive workshop, you will:

• understand the meaning of what mindfulness is and how it works.

• understand why our minds become so cluttered and overwhelmed and why it's so difficult to let go of those recurring negative thoughts.

• learn how to meditate mindfully, training our brains to remember to pause and step back in those times of need.

• gain some quick and easy mindfulness tips and tricks to use when life gets stressful.

• take a mindful pause with a 10 minute guided mindfulness practice.

The session will be delivered on zoom and last for 1 hour.
