About this event

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was designed in Oxford University to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them. MBCT was developed by Dr. Zindel Segal, Dr. Mark Williams and Dr. John Teasdale.

What are some of the benefits of this course?

  • Reduces anxiety & depression relapse
  • Enhances ability to cope effectively with stress
  • Improves well-being and sleep quality

In this course, we will investigate the following themes:

Session 1:Waking up from autopilot

Session 2: Another way of being

Session 3: Gathering the scattered mind

Session 4: Recognising reactivity

Session 5: Allowing and letting be

Session 6: Responding skilfully : thoughts are not facts

Session 7: How can I best take care of myself
