Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) 8 Week Course

Mindfulness Stress Based Reduction (MBSR) 8 Week Course

• Are you finding it hard to wind down after a long day’s work?

• Are you forgetting things that usually don’t slip your mind and lacking clarity?

• Are you finding it hard to focus when your to-do list seems endless?

If you answered YES to any of these questions this course is for you!

Oasis Mindfulness has drawn upon the curricula of the MINDFULNESS STRESS BASED REDUCTION (MBSR) to present a formal, structured program that assists participants to deal more effectively with stress.

Held in a supportive and structured space, and incorporating mindfulness meditation techniques and gentle physical movement, our 8-week MBSR program will help individuals:

• Bring positive changes to attitudes and behaviours, increasing the quality of relationships

• Improve working memory, gain clarity with a calmer mind

• Improve physically with a better immune function, improve sleep practises, healthier heart

• Reduction in acute and chronic pain

• Learn to manage stress and anxiety

What is involved?

MBSR is an evidence-based stress-reduction program that has been scientifically proven to help with a range of physical and psychological difficulties including anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Over the course of 8 weeks, we explore your patterns of thinking, feelings and actions, and learn how to transform them into positive behaviours.

We will have a group meet-up weekly at Prospect Health Plus in Prospect – this will be 2.5hrs of guided mindfulness meditations, theoretical framework activities, gentle physical movement, group discussions and take home activities for daily practice.

As mentioned earlier, you will also be able to join me for a Day of Mindfulness during the 8 week period which can help expand your creativity, peacefulness, and self-realisation. This will be run on a weekend to ensure that you will be able to make it.

MBSR is for someone who wants to gain the benefits of regular mindfulness practice (for their work or life) and be supported by this program in establishing a regular mindfulness practice.

What past participants are saying:

“It is a great course that everyone should do as it guides us to a better connection for our mind, body and soul. Anne has been great in guiding the course.”

“I reconnected with myself, this was a very powerful experience. I also have tools that are working in my daily life to prevent anxiety and allow me to relate better to others.”

“I was living my life on auto-pilot and always trying to be everything to everyone. This course has enabled me to prioritise me.”

“I have learnt how the body, mind and feelings are connected and what I think affects my feelings. Through mindfulness, I am feeling calmer, more relaxed and able to reduce my anxiety. I don’t feel as anxious as before and I am more confident in what I do.”
