I am guiding a day's silent retreat in Chesterfield on the 12th March as part of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programme which offers participant's a chance to be with their own experience and pattern's of the mind for a day to deepen their own mindfulness practice.

Ruby Wax has been open about her struggle with depression. Here she describes going on a retreat in Wales in pursuit of the elusive state of mindfulness.

I love this - a nourishing short New Year meditation from Melli for us to tap into our wisdom about what really matters.

The next Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programme will be running in Chesterfield, Derbyshire at The Quaker Meeting House, 27 Ashgate Road, Chesterfield, S40 4AG from the 18th January to 14th March 2016, 7-9 p.m. The course takes place one evening a week for 2 hours over an 8 week period (no session on the 15th Feb due to half-term) and also includes a silent retreat on the 12th March. The course also includes course handouts, mindfulness meditation recordings.
This is a nourishing and life-enhancing course that can benefit everyone.
You will learn mindfulness techniques to be better able to deal with life's events and experiences with a greater ability to respond in a way which is beneficial rather than one which causes undue stress and disharmony.

You will be able to relate to the world more skilfully in your thoughts, emotions and behaviours to free you up from unhelpful habits and to be able to be more insightful and make wise choices for yourself.

Please get in touch with Jill Savage at [email protected] for more information about this truly life enhancing programme.

There is a new mindfulness course starting on the 18th January 2016 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire at The Friend's Meeting Place, 27 Ashgate Road, Chesterfield, S40 4AG. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (M.B.S.R.) is a nourishing course for the general public starting on the 18th January - 14th March 2016. The course not only teaches you ways to reduce stress, but also to increase psychological well-being and improve the quality of your life.

The things that stress and challenge us may not change, but the way in which we deal with them can shift through mindfulness, so we can be truly present to what is going on in our inner and outer worlds, make wise choices for ourselves and gain fresh insight. .
