Coming Home to the Body

Mindfulness for Life is a group educational course that runs for 2 hours a week for 8 weeks and requires a commitment to home practice between sessions. 

The group was developed by the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation (OMF).  The course weaves together Eastern teaching and philosophy with Western cognitive science.  Change happens from the fruits of practice and often takes time, and these benefits are not guaranteed to happen to everyone. But from our own experience and existing research, we know that mindfulness is helpful for many people.

Testimonials

  • Ocean Wave

    I enjoyed the feeling in the class. It had a form of a class, but actually it was more like a circle where we practiced being, being, and just being together. Maybe someone fell into sleep during a body scan meditation guide, someone just wanted to keep silent all along one session, someone showed up late, someone just went over a long long day... All of us were accepted by the teachers and, maybe therefore, by our own selves, just to be there and choose the most beneficial acts for us to do.

  • Ocean Wave

    I'm really amazed by how all the guides and exercises make mindfulness slowly, gradually and naturally flow into my daily routine and breathed into it. Now I think of mindfulness exercises just like other activities - what I do a day: playing, working, learning, enjoying meals, taking rests, experimenting, staying mindful. Mindfulness is not something big and great, it's just ordinary, familiar, yet still magical when using it, I can come back to myself, my inside home, anytime, just with a few small acts in some minutes, even seconds.

    I thought the course was good because it encouraged me to develop another way of thinking, I looked in a more intensive way at how I was thinking and by looking at it I began to think in a different way
