The Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically supported, 8- week, 9 -session (a half –day retreat is included) training programme designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the ground-breaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness, care and understanding.

Having kindness for oneself may sound like a surprising skill to learn, but the truth is we are often our own worst critic especially when we have experienced failure.
“Compassion – Wishing that oneself or others be free from suffering. Empathy in the face of suffering, and the wish to alleviate it. From the Latin, com(with) and pati (suffer).

In this program, you will learn the key principles and practices of self- compassion. Research has shown that these techniques can help improve our emotional well-being, improve our ability to cope with life’s challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression and lead to more satisfying personal relationships.
This nurturing programme uses meditations, group discussion, and experiential exercises, to explore the following themes:
- Bringing mindfulness and self-compassion into daily life;
- Handling difficult situations and emotions with greater ease;
- Motivating ourselves with kindness rather than self-criticism;
- Growing and sustaining compassion for others to improve relationships;
- Practicing the art of savouring and self-appreciation;
- Exploring the role of self-compassion in caregiver fatigue;
- Developing an understanding of the science around how self-compassion works.

Cultivating self-compassion in this way can fundamentally shift how we relate to ourselves. Instead of meeting our imperfections and challenges with self- blame and -criticism, we can bring a kind and mindful attention to our experiences (thoughts, emotions, and sensations) and a sense of love and care to ourselves, right in the midst of difficult situations. With practice, we can strengthen this inner quality of presence, connectedness, and kindness to improve emotional well-being and build resilience.

Self-compassion includes:
1. Self-kindness Vs Self-criticism;
2. Common humanity Vs Self-isolation
3. Mindfulness Vs emotional entanglement.”
The course fee for the full 9 session official MSC programme includes all handouts/course materials and refreshments. I also offer online/telephone support throughout the course.
On completion of the course you will receive a certificate of attendance.

Notes:
- No prior mindfulness or self-compassion experience is required -- but the course can be attended as a follow-on for those who’ve completed an 8-week mindfulness course.
- There is up to 1⁄2 hour per day of home practice of mindfulness and self-compassion exercises recommended during the course.
- Handouts and guided meditations will be provided.

Hatha Yoga - Friday

MARY ROBERTS

Craft and laugh has been created to give people somewhere to go once a week to set time aside for their craft, or participate in charity recycled bag making sessions  and have some company, with other people similarly crafting.

It is designed to aid wellbeing in terms of taking a break from life, and interracting with others.  Both of which have become more difficult for many after a period where life has been quite tricky.

The sessions are run for all levels.  You are welcome to bring your own project to work on, or you can help make bags for the morsbags project (more can be found here www.morsbags.com)       It doesn't matter about your crafting skills and experience, craft & laugh is for everybody.  There are plenty of jobs to do, and you don't even need to be able to sew.

At the moment it is run as a drop in so no need to make a booking unless you want to.   Sessions are just £5 to cover basic costs and can be paid by cash or card on the day. You can choose to pay for a bundle of 6 sessions ( half a term) at a time for £25.

It's a relaxed session with no expectations.  If you come and chat and get very little done - that's OK too!

I look forward to seeing you.
🙂

Welcome to the Women Awakening Book Club.

I wanted to bring together a group, a community of like-minded women who love to read, nurture their inner wisdom and celebrate the divine feminine that they are. By being open, curious is how we grow and expand.

We will meet every 6-8 weeks in a London cafe, where we discuss a particular book. The range of books will focus on self-development, spirituality, women empowerment and ways we can relate this to our everyday world. Each session we will discuss and share our insights from the book and most importantly how these learnings can be embodied as we grow. I will guide the gathering, with key discussion points, however the main goal is for me to create space and allow the sharing of wisdom within the group.

This is a 2 hour Hatha yoga, breathwork and relaxation session which is suitable for beginners and experienced yogi's alike.

The session will start with some gentle yoga exercises to warm up the body.  This will be followed by breathwork (pranayama) followed by a simple mindfulness meditation.

There will be a break halfway through with refreshments, biscuits and cake. Let me know if you have any dietary requirements.

Finally - yoga nidra.  This is also known as yogic sleep and is a guided meditation which is done lying down in savasana.  It creates a deep sense of relaxation in both the body and the mind which leads to s state of relaxed awareness.

A Morning of Hatha Yoga, Breathwork and Relaxation

Doodle Art Workshop is designed for everyone who wants to learn and give this amazing form of art a chance.

Learn to translate complex shapes into simple line drawings using logic and creativity. Ignite the dormant aspects of your brain to boost memory & creativity, improve focus & interpersonal communication and to release anxiety.

This workshop will help you to communicate your emotions or thoughts in a visual language and release stress. It’s simple to do, because it is representational, based on an icon or a basic shape.

In the workshop you will be guided step by step to structure your ideas in a beautiful artwork.

You will be guided how to combine different shapes and lines to create patterns, graphics and clean clear designs.

I provide these workshops regularly,  personalising the programme to each individual student. By personalising the programme individually, you are able to learn and develop at your own pace. My aim is for you to explore and experiment with shapes and lines to express your thoughts on to a beautiful artwork and to have fun in the process!

You can choose to work on the already outlined graphics or sketch or create one of your own. You don’t have to worry about whether you can draw or not, you will be guided step by step into the process.

What YOU will learn and key take- aways:

 -The basics of Doodling
Materials, Tools and Techniques
Developing Ideas
Creating patterns and compositions using basic shapes
 and line art
Learning to combine different shapes/forms together
Refining your art
How to know your own style
How to blend doodles in design
Participants tend to find their creativity is really amplified, and find the ideas come naturally to them as they work. This helps to relax and improve focus.

It is for beginners, artists, non – artists or for those who are looking to cope with stress in their lives.

Did you Know

Doodle Art can help you;

Build memory power: Doodling helps the brain to stay alert for a long period and, as a result, process more information. When listening to a long lecture, the brain tends to ‘switch off’. Doodling prevents that by engaging the brain without the individual losing interest in what’s being said. It also helps the brain fill in gaps in thinking and processing the information it is receiving.
Enhance creativity: According to Sunni Brown, the author of ‘The Doodle Revolution: The Power To Think Differently’, doodling helps activate different areas of the brain which usually remain dormant while an individual is processing word-heavy information. This helps a person to arrive at creative solutions to a problem while he is doodling.
Improve focus: Contrary to popular belief, doodling doesn’t distract. It helps stay engaged and alert. In fact, according to research, doodling helps improve concentration as it prevents an individual from daydreaming.
Help express emotions: Doodling is often a reflection of the unconscious mind. Dr Robert Burns, former director of the Institute for Human Development at the University of Seattle, who used doodles to diagnose emotional expression, stated in his article published in In Health (1991) that "even the most innocent doodle may carry messages from the unconscious". So, a doodle may often reflect the individual’s state of mind and emotions.
Relieve stress: Psychologist Christine Selby, in her book ‘Chilling Out: The Psychology of Relaxation’, says that drawing a continuous line that curves and crosses itself many times across a page helps people relax and unwind. Since there is no pressure of ‘painting a good picture’, doodling helps you feel more zen because of its simplicity.

Take some time out to breathe, taste and get body connected during this belly calming session of meditation – and hot chocolate!

This workshop is a gentle session focussed on soothing your body and helping you feel connected with your senses. It’s very easy to get swept up in the busyness of life so this is an opportunity to slow down. Chocolate is a beautiful ingredient full of aromas and warming it up into a magical concoction is a tasty way to experience the soothing benefits of meditation and mindful awareness.

During this workshop Meredith share ways that you can extend some of the breathing and mindfulness techniques we’ll practice into everyday living.

Not sure if this session is for you?

This meditation workshop is suitable for new and experienced meditators. Meditation is a very personal experience and there’s no right or wrong way to feel about it! We won’t be aiming to transcend to any higher planes or tap into different states of consciousness; this workshop is about grounding, connecting and calming.

What can you expect?
– An introduction to help you get comfy and give you an overview of what’s happening during the workshop

– A gentle breathing meditation to calm your system and help get you body connected

– Guided mindful hot chocolate meditation engaging all your senses; we’ll slowly sip and savour some delicious dairy free hot chocolate using Meredith's special recipe containing beautiful bean-to-bar brand, Pump St Chocolate

– A short body scan meditation to help you leave the workshop feeling calm and soothed

There will be time for discussion and questions if there’s anything you’d like to know more about.

You’ll also receive a special slow tasting chocolate bar to take away and taste (mindfully!) using some of the techniques we’ll explore in the workshop.

You’ll be most comfortable if you wear loose clothing, but do wear whatever feels best for you.

Please note if you are suffering from certain diagnosed mental health conditions it’s not recommended that you take part in meditation without sign off from your supporting clinician.

Medical disclaimer – as a meditation guide I’m not qualified to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. I will not recommend any changes in medication or attitudes that could potentially worsen your condition.

Mindful Hot Chocolate Meditation Workshop

Lately a new kind of sound therapy, often called sound healing, has begun to attract a following.
Also known as vibrational medicine, the Vibrational Singing practice employs the vibrations of the human voice -- to go beyond relaxation and stimulate healing.

While Tibetan singing bowls and gongs facilitate amazing meditative states and healing possibilities, I find there is nothing like a vibrational sound of your own voice that provides the best healing and recalibration for your own physical body and your own energy field!

These weekly workshops are your opportunity to learn, practice and facilitate a powerful multi-dimensional healing for your body, mind and soul!
The practice is and results are particularly powerful when the vibrational singing is done in a group environment (i.e. more then one person).
The reason for that is actually really simple yet results are so astonishing that any opportunity to practice your vibrational singing with the others is a true "heaven-sent" medicine!

When we practice any sound or any singing in a group environment, each other participant becomes a resonant for every other sound in the room. As a result the energetic power you can achieve in your personal space is getting multiplied in a group environment... And it doesn't just get multiplied by the amount of people present, it somewhat spirals upwards and downwards in a complex magnitude. It's lie a whole new world of your perception opens up to you and you don't just facilitate the necessary recalibration of your energy field and your physical body... in a group environment... for the duration of the practice... you have a new channels of vision or perceptions if you prefer opening up to you. You become aware. You get the glimpse of that oneness. A vey powerful and profound experience!

The apprx workshop structure:

"-" please arrive 5/7 minutes prior the start of the workshop
"-" we will start with basic introduction of the method and a short breathing exercise to prepare us for the vibrational singing
"-" a brief practice of sounds we will be signing on the day
"-" apprx 7/10 mins of vibrational singing
"-" a brief pause and a short breathing exercise to process the effect of the vibrational singing
"-" apprx 7/10 mins of vibrational singing
"-" a brief pause and a short breathing exercise to process the effect of the vibrational singing
"-" discussion and Q&A session time permitting

Vibrational Singing Meditation Class. All Levels.

Somatic Breathwork™ is a full embodiment experience designed to help you release stress, trauma, emotions, and pent-up energy from the body. It is a modality that utilizes your own breath to help shed the layers of yourself that no longer serve.

Somatic Breathwork™ uses a circular diaphragmatic breath to tap into your body's innate inner intelligence to find the areas that need clearing. Coupling the breath with immersive music may result in different forms of cathartic emotional releases such as laughing, moving, crying, yelling, and shaking. All forms of expression are encouraged because it allows the body to move any stuck energy and create space for the second half of the breathwork session.

A gentler breathing technique is used in the second half of the session to help you connect with who you truly are. Together we can use the breath to call in how you want to show up in the world, the changes you want to embody, and allow you to see clearly what it would be like to live your best life.

Please allow 80 minutes for the following:
15 minutes for Intake and overview of the Somatic Breathwork™ session
50 minutes for Somatic Breathwork™ session
15 minutes for Integration and sharing

It is best to find a quiet space where you will not be disturbed for the entirety of the session.

This is an experience done while lying down so please create a comfortable place on the ground utilizing a yoga mat and/or folded blanket so you are comfortable and have enough space to lay down and freely move around. It is not recommended to use any bolsters or pillows to allow for full range of motion during the session (unless pain or injury requires them).

I recommend having a quality set of headphones or speakers that will allow you to be immersed in the music.

It is best to dress comfortably and remove any loose clothing or jewelry that may hinder your ability to freely move around during the session. Think Yoga attire.

It is also good to have a bottle of water and something to journal with for after the session. It is best to refrain from eating 1-2 hours prior to the session.

We will discuss the rest of the details during the intake process.

By signing up for this session I agree to any and all of the below terms:

I acknowledge that Somatic Breathwork™ is a deep and powerful process. I have notified the practitioners of any physical injuries, mental or psychological conditions I have. I engage in this experience willingly and take full responsibility for my own physical, mental and emotional experiences during and after the session.

Contraindications-
Somatic Breathwork™ is intended as a personal growth experience and should not be looked upon as a substitute for psychotherapy. It is not appropriate for pregnant women, for persons with cardiovascular problems, including angina or heart attack, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, history of seizures, stroke, major psychiatric conditions, recent surgery, acute infectious illness or epilepsy. If you have any doubt about whether you should participate, please consult with your primary care physician. Persons with asthma should bring their inhaler and consult with their primary care physician.

Release -
I hereby undergo of my own free will a Somatic Breathwork™ session and acknowledge and understand that I am in full control and may terminate the session at any time. I recognize that Somatic Breathwork™ can bring up intense emotions as well as physical releases that can be challenging and uncomfortable. I understand that every session is individual and different for each person that participates and release expectations of any specific outcome. I or my representative(s) agree to full release and hold Adam Carbary Somatic Breathwork™ Practitioner harmless from and against any and all claims or liability of whatsoever kind or nature arising out of or in connection with my session(s).
I hereby confirm that I have read and understood the above information and attest that my general health is good to participate.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

I am honored to hold space and guide you through this process.

Stretchology Class

Loin Erika for a 2 hour journey of restorative and mindfulness. During this workshop you will explore postures that will relax the body and allow us to tap into our mental capacity to work with your thoughts and mindsets.

Compassion requires us to soften our hearts. In traditional mindfulness practices, this process starts with finding the capacity to explore an attitude of compassion towards ourselves, to then be able to extend it to others. You will work with loving kindness meditations, as you explore the capacity to find deep states of relaxation, softening your body to soften your heart.

Suitable for all levels of experience including absolute beginners.
