Day of Practice for Trained Teachers - Theme: Exploring Difficulty and Befriending
Date: 05/12/2026
Location: Online

Our Day of Practice offers an opportunity deepen your mindfulness practice in a supportive online group setting. The day lasts for 5 hours, and includes guided sitting, standing and movement practices of up to 30 minutes in length, and some extended periods of silence.

Each day of practice has a theme based on one of the attitudes we explore as part of both mindfulness practice and everyday experience. The theme of this session is non-striving.

The practices will not be exclusively about that attitude, but may be explored with have a ‘flavour’ of the theme for that day. This might, therefore, mean exploring ‘non-striving’ as part of the body scan or ‘allowing’ in a movement practice.

This event will not be recorded, and no recording will be available afterwards.

This Day of Practice is designed for those with an existing mindfulness practice, as well as teachers (or trainee teachers) of mindfulness-based programmes. It meets the British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (BAMBA) good practice guidelines by contributing towards annual mindfulness-based retreat requirements.

What do you hope to gain by attending the course?

Health and Well-being

Mindfulness courses are generally suitable for most people. However, as part of our ethical responsibilities and duty of care, we need to know about any circumstances that might affect whether a course is appropriate for you at this time, or whether additional support or adjustments may be helpful.

Please let us know if there is anything relating to your current health or wellbeing that you think we should be aware of. This might include:

current or recent significant depression or other mental health difficulties

a history of psychosis or a recent manic or hypomanic episode

current psychiatric or psychological treatment, talking therapy or medication

recent self-harm or a previous suicide attempt

a traumatic experience that is currently affecting you

a recent bereavement or significant life change

current use of alcohol or drugs to manage stress or distress

a physical health condition that may be relevant to your participation, including Type 1 diabetes

any other circumstances that are currently placing you under significant stress or that you feel may affect your participation in the course.

any accessibility, sensory, communication or learning needs that may affect your participation, or for which support or adjustments would be helpful, for example, needs relating to hearing, vision, reading, concentration, communication or processing information

Do any of the above apply to you, or is there anything else relating to your health or well-being that you would like us to be aware of?

If yes, please provide any information you feel would be helpful for us to know:

I undertake to be responsible for my own wellbeing during the course and agree to bring any concerns to the course teachers in the first instance, and contact my GP or relevant health professional, should I continue to have concerns about my wellbeing.

Providing this information does not mean that you will be unable to attend the course. It helps us consider whether the course is appropriate for you at this time and whether there is anything we can do to support your participation.
