Mindfulness training

Overview

What you will study

In the group sessions, everyone’s contribution is valued and together we can learn, share and grow our resilience and sense of equanimity. Studies show that when we share in groups, we feel a sense of connection ,as opposed to feeling isolated and lonely. This greatly affects our sense of well-being, which in turn affects our overall health, including our immunity.

The Mindfulness training course offered by University of Cape Town is highly experiential, which means we will be doing mindfulness exercises and holding discussions in small breakout groups and in larger groups. Its important to know that visual connection activates our social brain and deepens and integrates our learning, so we benefit from keeping connected throughout the course, via our video screens.
