See us at the Mindful Living Show in Manchester

This is a major event in Manchester where many different organisations will be present with talks and stalls.
We will be at stall B10 and we are giving a talk on Saturday morning.
Our plan is to run a series of demonstrations of different approaches to teaching/practicing mindfulness from the stall throughout the event.
It will be a great opportunity to catch up with people as well.

The event's website is here.
The most economic way to but tickets is to pair up with someone and make a group booking for 2.
This brings the price down to £25 each for a day pass. You can use our discount code: MIND18IM10
at the discount event booking site here for both individual and group tickets.

2 to 7 Day Secular Mindfulness Retreat, Snowdonia, Jan 2018
|
|
The retreat begins Friday evening 19th January and continues to mid-day Monday 22nd with the option to stay for additional days until Friday 26th.
This flexible retreat 2-7 day retreat is open to anyone who has attended Integrated Mindfulness/Mindful Resilience Enhancement mindfulness practice days or training workshops. It is also open to anyone who has undertaken training in other mindfulness-based and/or compassion-based teacher training or who has an established mindfulness practice with experience of longer periods of practice.
The retreat is led by Annette Dunn and Tim Duerden who are the lead trainers for Integrated Mindfulness and experienced mindfulness teacher-trainers and retreat facilitators.
The retreat is held in the wonderful Trigonos centre which has views of Snowdon, lovely grounds, walks by the lake and amazing food.
|
The retreat can be attended to meet the Good Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness Teachers requirements for retreat attendance whether this is partially through attending for 2-3 days or fully by attending for 5-7 days.
We aim to have a common start time of Friday evening, although arriving early Saturday morning is an option. We find the retreat is well paced by staying on Sunday night until Monday mid-day (though some people leave Sunday evening).
From Monday lunchtime onwards, people are welcome to stay for additional days up to Friday lunchtime. These additional days have the same structure of practice times as the first 3 days, but the practice periods are almost all unguided. We therefore suggest that anyone who has not been on a mindfulness practice retreat before attends, at most, Friday evening to Monday lunchtime.

Booking for Minding the Gap Symposium June 2018: Focusing on Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness
|
|
Book now for the free 1 day symposium to be held on Friday June 29th 2018 at the University of Salford.
We are very excited that David Treleaven has agreed to record a special video for the symposium focusing on his work with mindfulness with people with trauma histories.
His new book, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe and Transformative Healing, is coming out in February. This is such an important area that has been very poorly researched to date. As those of you who have done our training will know, we would consider a trauma-sensitive approach to be how all mindfulness courses should be delivered unless there are clinically sound reasons to do otherwise.
|
You can find the booking form here.
We find david's work particularly relevant as MRE is intrinsically a trauma-sensitive approach to teaching mindfulness.
