Weekly Breakdown
Week 1 → Waking Up Life often operates on autopilot—especially in high-pressure environments like schools, hospitals, or workplaces.

You’ll explore the difference between mindfulness and meditation and experience sensory meditation—an effective way to sharpen your awareness and presence. Mindful Attitude: Gratitude & Generosity – Appreciating the moment and sharing positive energy with others.
Week 2 → Showing Up Mindfulness is like any skill—it takes consistent practice and presence.This week, you’ll apply habit-building techniques to integrate mindfulness into your daily routine, just like refining any skill. You’ll also practice body scan meditation, an essential tool for resetting and staying grounded in any environment. Mindful Attitude: Trust – Trusting yourself, the process, and the rhythm of life.
Week 3 → Mind Alignment The mind can feel like a mix—sometimes flowing smoothly, other times full of distractions.

Content and Structure
While this 8-week course provides a structured framework, it is designed to be flexible. The outlined themes offer a guiding path, but each session will be adapted to meet the specific needs and preferences of your group. Every environment has its own challenges—be it the stress of work, the demands of caregiving, or the unpredictability of a school or healthcare setting. This course is built to adjust to these varying needs, providing tools that can be applied to real-world situations as they arise. If a particular theme or concept resonates with you, we can dive deeper into it. If challenges like stress management, emotional regulation, or burnout occur, we will shift the focus to address them in real time. Think of this course as a personalised journey rather than a rigid, one-size-fits-all program. While we cover essential tools for mindfulness, emotional resilience, and well-being, your unique experience will help shape our direction.
