This taster event for the upcoming 8 week mindfulness course is an opportunity to meet with me and ask any questions relating to the course and experience a little of the content.

Mindfulness Based Addiction Recovery (MBAR) is a mindfulness-based approach to promoting recovery from addiction and understanding relapse.

This secular mindfulness course is for anyone who has obsessive or compulsive behaviour that brings temporary pleasure and relief and also for professionals working in the field of addiction who would like to understand addiction through the Mindfulness lens.

As well as learning to meditate and practice mindfulness in a structured way, the course will teach the following:

1. Develop awareness of personal triggers and habitual reactions and learn ways to create a pause in this seemingly automatic process

2. Change our relationship to discomfort, learning to recognise challenging emotional and physical experiences and responding to them in skilful ways

3. Foster a non-judgemental compassionate approach towards ourselves and others

4. Build a lifestyle that supports both mindfulness practice and recovery

The course, which is experiential and facilitated by Mel includes group sharing and discussion and is managed via the zoom platform a safe, inclusive learning platform.

The course will run from 7 – 9 pm BST on Mondays commencing 6th June and there is also an opportunity to upgrade to the ReCover coaching programme and receive individual support from Mel who is a certified life and recovery coach as well as an approved UK Mindfulness teacher.
