​​​A 4-Session Fortnightly Mindfulness Course for Sustainable Wellbeing

​​In-person / Saturday Mornings                     31 January to 14 March 2026

A Rare Opportunity to Join a Live, In-Person Mindfulness Course

Many mindfulness trainings are now online. This small, supportive group meets in person, allowing space to

slow down, reconnect and re-orient your inner compass - much like stepping briefly into a clearing in the woods.

​​​​

​​

​A Course to Restore Your Inner Ecology

 

Modern life can pull us away from our natural rhythms. This course offers practical, evidence-based mindfulness tools that support the “inner ecology” of body and mind - helping you find balance, clarity, self-compassion and spaciousness in the midst of outer busyness.

 

You will learn to:

  • Interrupt cycles of stress, low energy and anxiety

  • Restore balance and calm through simple, grounded practices

  • Strengthen resilience and emotional clarity

  • Develop a healthier relationship with thoughts and feelings

  • Reconnect with your own natural capacity for wellbeing

  • Recognise how caring for the inner landscape supports your outer life

 

Short, soothing nature video moments will be used in the course to invite a sense of calm,

connection, and appreciation of how the ecology of nature mirrors the ecology within us.

​

This is not a quick fix - but a gradual return toward the steadier ground that supports sustainable wellbeing.

Mindful Living In A Frantic World

  • Would like tools to regain balance, clarity, and motivation

  • Are new to mindfulness and want a safe, structured introduction

  • Completed a mindfulness course in the past and want to refresh

  • Prefer learning in a small, relational, in-person group setting

 

Not suitable for people currently experiencing acute mental-health disturbances,

as it may be difficult to benefit from the practices at this time.
