SUMMARY:Deeper Mindfulness: Frame by Frame
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Mindfulness: exploring feeling tone Frame by Frame‘ is a new eight-week course developed by Mark Williams and colleagues for people who want to explore mindfulness more deeply. The online course runs on Wednesday evenings from 27 May 2026 and includes an optional one-day retreat on 20 June 2026. \nOverview​\nThis course allows people to explore an aspect of mindfulness that isn’t covered explicitly in other courses: ‘feeling tone.’ Feeling tone is a sense of the positive or negative that every human experiences and is the tipping point for our mood. \nDeeper Mindfulness is informed by recent psychological findings that reveal that every waking moment\, our understanding of the world is dominated by imagining how we can take action within it\, coloured by what is called ‘feeling tone.’ Feeling tone is the moment-by-moment ‘read-out’ of how much a sensation\, thought\, or emotion feels pleasant\, unpleasant\, or neither. Based on this moment-by-moment ‘read out\,’ the body allocates its resources as it gears up for real or imagined action. This can prepare us well for action\, but it can also put us at risk of becoming exhausted without our realising it. \nDuring the eight weekly sessions\, you will learn meditations that help you tune into feeling tone moment by moment\, frame by frame. This provides an opportunity to see more clearly both the tipping points for distress and exhaustion\, and also how to flourish by freeing yourself to appreciate life again\, even in the midst of difficulty. \nWho is the course for?\nThis course is designed for those who have already completed an eight-week mindfulness-based programme and want to explore mindfulness more deeply. Please note\, this courses is designed for the general public and may not be suitable for everyone. If you are experiencing serious mental health issues\, you should talk to your GP about being referred to the appropriate clinical service. \nWhen?\nWednesdays\, 5.30pm to 7.30pm\, starting 27 May and running until 15 July 2026. (3\, 10\, 17\, 24 June\, 1\, 8 July) \nWhere?\nOnline. \nFacilitators\nWe have two experienced teachers leading this course. Apart from being experienced in many aspect of teaching mindfulness\, Taravajra and Bethan Roberts are supervisors and are key members of our team of teacher trainers\, leading courses for others who want to become teachers themselves. \nPlease find out more here: \nDeeper Mindfulness: Frame by Frame

SUMMARY:Day of Practice – Theme: Non-striving
DESCRIPTION:The session is 5 hours and includes guided sitting\, standing and movement practices of up to 30 minutes in length\, and some extended periods of silence. \nTypically\, each Day of Practice has a theme based on one of the attitudes we explore as part of both mindfulness practice and everyday experience. For example\, non-judging’\, ‘patience’\, ‘letting go’ etc. \nThe theme for this Day of Practice is ‘Non-striving’. \nThe practices won’t be exclusively about that attitude\, but may be explored with have a ‘flavour’ of the theme for that day. This might mean exploring ‘non-striving’ as part of the body scan or ‘allowing’ in a movement practice. \nThe 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 retreat requirements.

SUMMARY:Deeper Mindfulness: Exploring feeling tone frame by frame (8-week course)
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Mindfulness: Exploring Feeling Tone Frame-by-Frame is an 8-week course developed by Professor Mark Williams and colleagues\, designed for you if you’ve already completed a mindfulness-based programme and you’d like to explore mindfulness more deeply.\nIt’s informed by recent psychological findings that reveal that every waking moment\, our understanding of the world is dominated by imagining how we can take action within it\, coloured by what is called ‘feeling tone’ – the moment-by-moment ‘read-out’ of whether a sensation\, thought or emotion feels pleasant\, unpleasant\, or neither. Based on this moment-by-moment ‘read out’\, the body allocates its resources as it gears up for real or imagined action. This can prepare us well for action\, but it can also put us at risk of becoming exhausted without our realising it.\nAncient traditions saw feeling tone (vedana) as a fundamental element of every moment of experience and a central aspect of mindfulness practice. Learning specific practices to help us become aware of feeling tone allows us to see clearly the very instant where we become caught up in pursuing or rejecting something and become entangled in a web of emotional distress. Meditation teacher Joseph Goldstein has said that mindfulness of feeling tone is one of the master keys that both reveals and unlocks the deepest patterns of our conditioning.\nDuring the 8 weekly sessions\, you’ll learn meditations that prepare you for\, then help you tune into\, feeling tone – frame-by-frame. This provides you with an opportunity to see more clearly both the tipping points for distress and exhaustion\, and also how to flourish by freeing yourself to appreciate life again\, even in the midst of difficulty.

SUMMARY:Finding Peace in a Frantic World (8-week course)
DESCRIPTION:This mindfulness course is based on the best-selling book “Finding Peace in a Frantic World” by Professor Mark Williams\, our Founder\, and Dr. Danny Penman. \nIf you’re completely new to mindfulness – or perhaps you’ve tried mindfulness apps or other forms of learning – and would like to try a structured course led by an experienced teacher\, this course offers an engaging and practical introduction. \nThe 8 sessions (each 90 minutes) and home practice are slightly shorter than our 8-week Mindfulness for Life course so this course could be an option for you if you’re shorter on time\, or you’re looking for a slightly less intensive refresher course. \nThe course grew out of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)\, but has been designed for adults in a wide range of contexts\, including the general public\, workplaces\, university students\, and school teachers. \nIt supports your development of mindfulness skills to improve your well-being and resilience to stress.

SUMMARY:7-day Silent Mindfulness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Retreat Description: This retreat will use the thought of Wang Yang-Ming (1472–1529) as a way of entering into the Buddha’s understanding of practical ethics—how we should live and who we should become. Ethical cultivation lies at the heart of both the Buddha’s teaching and classical Chinese civilisation\, while the practice of mindfulness supports inquiry and develops the “innate knowing” that unifies understanding and action. In this retreat\, we will bring these perspectives together as a living practice of self-cultivation in the multi-cultural world in which we live. \nThis 7-night silent retreat will include: \nSustained periods of silence\, alternating sitting and walking meditation \nPeriods of gentle mindful movement/stretching \nMeditation instructions on cultivating mindfulness \nAdditional practice guidance to strengthen kindness throughout the day \nDharma talks \nPeriods of mindfulness work and rest \nRegular private interviews with the retreat teachers \nThe container of Silence includes refraining from speaking (except with the teachers as scheduled and as needed)\, reading\, writing (except to record meditation experience)\, and technology\, with the exception of emergencies of course. It is a rare opportunity to slow down and give our hearts and minds some space to access our inner wisdom and compassion. \nJoin us to nourish and sustain your practice\, in a safe and beautiful environment\, with wonderful healthy food and supported by experienced teachers. \nABOUT THE RETREAT TEACHERS \nPatrick Kearney has practised mindfulness meditation (satipaṭṭhāna vipassanā) since 1977. He is a senior Dharma teacher and has taught mindfulness meditation full-time for over 20 years\, both in Australia and abroad. Most of Patrick’s practise has been in the insight meditation lineage of Mahāsī Sayādaw of Burma\, which included several years as a Buddhist monk. His main teachers were Sayādaw U Paṇḍita and John Hale. He has also trained in the Diamond Sangha lineage of Zen Buddhism. He has studied early Buddhism at post-graduate levels and has a particular interest in the original teachings of the Buddha\, before the invention of “Buddhism.” This allows him to bring the radical insights of the Buddha to our contemporary situation. \nCarmen Teo\, EdD\, E-RYT 500\, has practiced yoga since 2004 and discovered mindfulness meditation in 2007 as a graduate student in the US. She found her life transformed in bittersweet ways through self-inquiry and exploring the wisdom traditions of Yoga and Buddhism. Carmen’s root practice is in the Theravada Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah and the Mahasi tradition\, with Patrick Kearney as her primary Dharma teacher. A dedicated meditator\, she has attended more than 20 silent retreats. Carmen has been a teacher\, teachers’ mentor and researcher of contemporary mindfulness and yoga for the last fourteen years\, including serving as a MBSR Teacher Mentor with UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness and completing her doctoral research on mindfulness and its teaching practice. \nWHO IS THIS FOR? \nThis silent retreat is open to individuals who would like to further develop their mindfulness meditation practice. Some experience with mindfulness meditation is expected. \nIn addition\, this retreat is also for those already teaching or interested in teaching mindfulness-based programs (MBP) such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction\, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy\, Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion. The Retreat meets the silent retreat requirements for teacher training and certification for all Mindfulness-Based Interventions. \n*Note: A silent meditation retreat may not be suitable for some people currently seeking psychiatric treatments\, recently experiencing distressing life situations\, or with severe unresolved traumas. As such\, we request interested participants to complete an application form for us to understand your situation and advise your suitability. \nPlease click on event link for details on fees and application process.

SUMMARY:Half Day of Practice – Theme: Acceptance
DESCRIPTION:The session is 3 hours and includes guided sitting\, standing and movement practices of up to 30 minutes in length\, and some extended periods of silence. \nTypically\, each Day of Practice has a theme based on one of the attitudes we explore as part of both mindfulness practice and everyday experience.

SUMMARY:MBSR Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program 8 Weeks
DESCRIPTION:The Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Relaxation Program (MBSR) was pioneered by Jon Kabat Zinn\, PhD at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center’s Center for Mindfulness over 40 years ago. Since then over 6000 studies have been published worldwide attesting to the effectiveness of the program. The effects of stress can be felt physically\, mentally and emotionally and the studies delve into all of these categories and more. We define mindfulness as paying attention moment by moment on purpose and without judgement. \nThe practice of mindfulness has been around for thousands of years and the far reaching benefits have been attested to by practitioners over the centuries. Mindfulness can now be found in practically every segment of our lives including\, but not limited to\, healthcare\, academics\, the arts\, sports\, business and peak performance. It has spawned other related programs such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy(MBCT)\, Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention Program for Depression\, Mindful Eating Programs and Mindfulness in the Schools just to name a few. \nAlong with all the other benefits\, as the practice of mindfulness unfolds in your life it can be recognized by a sense of experiencing life more fully along with a deeper sense of peace\, compassion and feeling of wellbeing. There is a renewed sense of being connected to yourself and the world around you….a renewed sense of curiosity\, resilience and the adventure of life. So become a Phoenix mindfulness enthusiast\, begin the adventure now!
