SUMMARY:Live mindfulness session: First Tuesday of the month
DESCRIPTION:1 December at 13:30 to 14:00\nOur drop-in live mindfulness sessions are free. They are led by experienced teachers and offer an opportunity to refresh and sustain your practice. It’s also hugely beneficial to practice with others. Join us. \nAbout the teacher\nThese sessions are led by Lucy Edwards\, Clinical Psychologist working in secondary care adult mental health services within the Trust since 2003. Lucy’s relationship with mindfulness developed from experiencing its benefits first-hand. She integrates mindfulness into her clinical work and in 2015 completed her mindfulness teacher training at the Sussex Mindfulness & Compassion. \nWho are these for?\nThese live sessions are open to everyone. We offer these sessions to support your practice\, to allow you an opportunity to try out mindfulness and practice alongside others. \nIf you have no prior experience of mindfulness we would recommend attending one of our taster sessions first. You can book on to one of our tasters here. To get the most out of these live sessions we recommend completing an eight-week mindfulness course\, if you haven’t already. You can find out more about these courses here \nNot for clinical or crisis care\nWe offer these drop-in sessions to support your mindfulness practice\, to allow you an opportunity to try out mindfulness and build a sense of community. \nDuring the session\, please be prepared to have your camera on. If you feel distressed or unwell after a practice\, please let the teacher leading the session know and\, if appropriate\, your GP or a clinician working with you. \nIt is not advisable to do these mindfulness practices in the heat of a crisis\, when it would be important to access your GP or your designated mental health clinician. \nDo contact spft.smc@nhs.net if you have questions about the drop-ins but please be aware that we are not a clinical or crisis service\, and it will not be possible to respond urgently or clinically to emails. \nWhere?\nOnline. We will send a Zoom link once you’ve filled in the form below. \nHow to book?\nGo to page:https://sussexmindfulnesscentre.nhs.uk/event/live-mindfulness-session-first-tuesday-of-the-month-2/2026-12-01/

The online course runs on Tuesday evenings from 19 January 2027 and includes an optional one-day retreat in 2027.\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?\nTuesdays\, 5.30pm to 7.30pm\, starting 19 January and running until 16 March 2027 (no session on 16 February). \nWhere?\nOnline. The zoom link will be sent closer to the time of the course. \nFacilitator: We have two experienced teachers leading this course. Apart from being experienced in many aspect of teaching mindfulness\, 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗷𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗢’𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗹 are supervisors and are key members of our team of teacher trainers\, leading courses for others who want to become teachers themselves. \nDeeper Mindfulness: Frame by Frame \n\nOR You can watch this video in which the Bridgette and Taravajra briefly introduce the course content:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzFmhOrx21E&list=PLUrIBmwIs9NQ

SUMMARY:Compassion retreat: Welcoming the stranger (online)
DESCRIPTION:12 February 2027 at 14:00 to 14 February 2027 at 13:00 \nA long-weekend retreat from your own home. You’ll be supported to deepen your mindfulness and compassion practice with a particular emphasis on intention\, on why we are practising. \nHow well do we really know ourselves? How well do we know our neighbours\, our community\, our fellow inhabitants of this island\, this continent\, this planet? Although psychological wisdom – ancient and modern – emphasises connection as the quintessential factor in wellbeing and thriving\, we struggle so much to practice this – particularly when we encounter the unfamiliar\, the unexpected\, the unpleasant. The ‘not-me’\, ‘them’: the stranger within and without. \nWe have been hearing the term ‘stranger’ weaponised in public discourse across the political spectrum in recent months. The term tends to be used in a negative way to identify certain groups of people deemed to be ‘not me’ and therefore somehow outside our legitimate field of care.\nThe programme will run through the Friday afternoon and early evening\, all day Saturday and Sunday morning. There will be a mix of teaching\, guided and unguided practice\, and unstructured time. Most of the retreat will be held in silence. There is the possibility to talk to either of the teachers individually. \nMonday 8 March 6-7pm\, Monday 12 April 6-7pm\, Monday 10 May 6-7pm\, Monday 14 June 6-7pm\, Monday 12 July 6-7pm\, Monday 9 August 6-7pm\, Monday 13 September 6-7pm\, Monday 11 October 6-7pm\, Monday 8 November 6-7pm\, Monday 13 December 6-7pm. \nWhere is it?\nOnline. You can attend from your own home. You will be given guidance on how to prepare for this in an online orientation meeting a week or two before the retreat. \nWho is the retreat for?\nThe retreat is designed for people with some experience of mindfulness and/or compassion practice who want to deepen their practice in a supportive\, safe environment. As a minimum\, you should have a regular practice and should have done an eight-week mindfulness-based or compassion-based course and/or have attended at least a one-day\, silent retreat. It is also a great opportunity for mindfulness-based and compassion-based teachers to approach this area in a new way. The retreat will count towards the annual retreat requirement for teachers and supervisors on the BAMBA Register. \nRetreat Leaders: Paul Johanson and Robert Marx

SUMMARY:Mindfulness-based approaches for fatigue management
DESCRIPTION:Supporting people to live with fatigue\, uncertainty and changing capacity \nThis one-day online workshop explores how mindfulness can offer a compassionate and practical approach to living with persistent and complex fatigue\, such as long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It enables participants to consider appropriate adaptions of mindfulness-based approaches for people living with these long-term health conditions. \nFatigue can profoundly affect how people live\, work\, move\, relate to others and participate in everyday life. It is a common and often disabling feature of many long-term health conditions\, including Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)\, Long Covid\, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome\, functional neurological disorder and fibromyalgia. \nFor people living with persistent and complex fatigue\, self-management can be challenging. It may involve adjusting expectations\, changing familiar patterns of activity\, finding a different relationship with rest and activity\, and adapting to changes in identity\, roles and abilities. Alongside the symptoms themselves\, people may also experience uncertainty\, stigma and misunderstanding. \nWhat is covered?\nThis one-day online workshop explores how mindfulness can offer a compassionate and practical approach to some of these challenges. \nThe approach has been developed collaboratively with people living with fatigue within NHS services. Drawing on Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, the programme has been adapted to recognise the particular needs and experiences of people living with significant and fluctuating fatigue. \nThe workshop will explore not only how mindfulness practices can be adapted\, but also consider specific intentions in mindfulness programmes including approaches to movement\, rest\, activity and participation. We will consider what it means to practise mindfulness when energy and capacity are limited or unpredictable. \nWhat’s the format?\nThe workshop will combine accessible teaching and discussion with experiential mindfulness practices. \nWho is this for?\nMindfulness teachers and trainees.\nTherapists and other health professionals working with people experiencing persistent or complex fatigue.\nPeople living with ME/CFS\, Long Covid and other fatiguing conditions who are interested in mindfulness-based approaches.\nOthers with an interest in developing more compassionate and accessible approaches to mindfulness and fatigue.\nNo previous experience of mindfulness teaching is required. \nThe facilitator\nFiona Mckechnie \nLearn more and book here: https://sussexmindfulnesscentre.nhs.uk/event/mindfulness-based-approaches-for-fatigue-management/
