In March this year, I shared a post about the first lockdown and how it felt to take the unexpected leap to online teaching. Choosing to write about what happened felt like a way to take stock and also be open about the uncertainties I felt as a teacher at that time.

About a month ago I attended my first mindfulness class. Elisa invited me to one of her drop-in classes specifically as a person who’s never experienced mindfulness before and asked me to write a post about my experience.

Welcome to THE SOUTH COAST MINDFULNESS NEWSLETTER #2!
Firstly, let me share some exciting news!
SOUTHSEA SITTING GROUP
Thursdays 3 - 3.45 PM
Starting a local practice group had been in my plans for a while.
Maintaining regular practice on your own can be challenging. I want to offer local mindfulness practitioners something that goes beyond a single event or a single course - a space and a community to connect with and provide continuity into the individual practice.
The group is open to anyone. If you have been to my courses - great, if you have practised elsewhere - great, if you have not practised before - great! Just come along.
No commitment is required to attend every week. You can jump on board at any point and join as often as you can.
MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION
The currently running MBSR course finishes just before Christmas. Therefore the next 8-week course will kick of in the new year. Most likely the start is mid January, but I will share the dates, once confirmed.
There will again be an 'early bird' discount, and by following the South Coast Mindfulness Facebook page you will be notified when the booking is open.
Not sure if mindfulness is for you? If you are not quite ready to jump into an 8-week stress reduction course, but would like to find out more about mindfulness - and as a bonus learn a couple of meditation techniques to take home - come along to a mindfulness intro evening, i.e. Mindfulness Taster Session.
I will run one more of these 2-hour events before Christmas - stay tuned for the date.
In the past, people who have signed up to both, Mindfulness Taster Session and the 8-week Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction course, have gotten the Taster session for free*.
*the price of the Taster session deducted from the MBSR total course price.
This is the plan for December - January! The dates and the course offering will continue to shape and more stuff is regularly added to the web page and Facebook - make sure to follow both.
