We have received information regarding parent workshops on Mindfulness from Katy McGregor, an Activity Ranger at Rouken Glen Park.
TWO PART MINDFULNESS BEGINNER’S WORKSHOP
Following the success of our previous Mindfulness events, we are very excited to offer this unique two part event over two evenings as follows;
Part 1 – Wednesday 30th October, 6.30pm-8.30pm
Part 2 – Wednesday 6 November, 6.30-8.30pm
Part 1 – We will be looking at why and how our modern day lives can create an imbalance and result in stress, anxiety, sleep issues and depression. There will be a working session to review how we experience these directly in the mind and body and the opportunity for a question and answer session followed by an introduction to the foundation of mindfulness and an experiential practice. You will receive a guided audio practice to do at home every day for a week until the next session for discussion and reflection in Part 2.
Part 2 – There will be an opportunity to reflect on our experience of mindfulness over the week and a question and answer session with time for individual reflection and in the group. We will discover various techniques that we can use in everyday life to help ourselves regain perspective and a sense of spaciousness when life feels busy or overwhelming and introduce another practice that can be continued at home following the final session to reduce stress and anxiety in everyday life.
The event will lead by Julie Griffin, Mindfulness Teacher with the charity Cultivating Mindfulness based in East Renfrewshire.
