About this event
Find out how mindfulness can support people living with pain.
In collaboration with Pain Concern and mindfulness teacher Cath Ashby.
This session is open to people living in Scotland and are aged 18+.
We are holding another identical introductory evening on Tues 9th Dec 6 - 7.30pm, and you can sign up here if this Oct date does not suit.
About the session
- During the 1.5 hour session you will have an introduction to mindfulness and experience a few different practices - mindful eating and a bodyscan.
- This will allow you to meet the teacher and give you a flavour of the 8-week course starting in Jan 2026 (Bookings can be made here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1660527084209?aff=oddtdtcreator with the link going live 11th October. You can e-mail us on mindfulness@painconcern.org.uk to reserve a place before then)
- This course is experiential and includes time to share and chat with others (sharing is optional and you may wish to journal instead).
- The course is suitable for people with health conditions as everything will be adapted to suit the group. You are invited to make yourselves as comfortable as possible and the session includes a short break.
Benefits of practicing mindfulness can be:
- living with more ease & reduced stress
- increased wellbeing and resilience
- feeling more connected to yourself and others
