SUMMARY OF THE COURSE
- The course will teach new ways to handle our body sensations, thoughts and emotions
- It develops skills that make us better equipped in taking care of our wellbeing, and managing stress and adversities more effectively – be they physical, mental, social or emotional
- Throughout the course you will be developing skills that make it easier to be with whatever we are experiencing, both the positive and negative, pleasant or unpleasant. This allows us to respond to situations more mindfully and from a state of presence rather than mindlessly reacting.
- During the course you will learn that there are generally two ways we can handle difficulties, either we change the situation or we change how we deal with the situation. And often times the former is not an option so it’s very beneficial to learn new ways of relating to difficulties
- Throughout the course you will be deepening your understanding and practise of self compassion and compassion for others.
