Mindfulness Workshops

The Centre are currently offering staff two types of workshops:

• Mindfulness for Wellbeing: this 2-hour workshop includes short mindfulness practices, additional resources and advice on where to find support.
• Mindfulness & Self-Compassion: self-compassion has been shown to be beneficial to our psychological wellbeing, so why can it be so hard to be compassionate towards ourselves?

Both workshops are held via MS Teams.
