Monthly Groups
"Thank you so much for holding us all with such care and warmth, I learn so much from you and so appreciate your warmth and compassion and how you carefully create such a strong sense of everyone being welcome."
Join our monthly groups
Establishing a regular formal mindfulness practice is often regarded the most difficult aspect of undertaking mindfulness training. And interestingly research also shows us it is the most beneficial thing as well! I therefore run practice support groups once a month for people who have completed an eight week course or some other form of mindfulness training..
These are ‘closed groups’ of regular people who find the commitment of a monthly group really supports them to embed learning and keep their mindfulness and self-compassion alive. We have a theme for each month which deepens understanding of a particular aspect of learning. We do plenty of guided practice during the session as well as giving time to explore the monthly theme through experiential exercise and discussion.
You can join either a Monday morning or a Wednesday evening group. There are groups meeting online as well as groups meeting face to face (in Meonstoke, Hampshire, SO32 3NP).
I researched participants’ experiences of these groups as part of my master’s degree.

Further information
The cost for these committed groups is £18 a month, payable by standing order. There is no charge for the first session – come along for an initial free taster session. Joining one of these groups supports your commitment to continue with practice and also means you will be part of a consistent group of people who you’ll get to know better as you meet together each month.
