What we cover
Session One: Introducing the Course
Session Two: What Calms the Mind
The core of this session is leading ‘finger breathing’ practice in pairs. This is an accessible, trauma-sensitive practice, suitable for everyone and a good place to start leading. There’s also a map of what we are doing when we lead a practice and guidance on how to lead.
Session Three: The Language of Meditation
We hear back about leading practices between sessions. Then participants lead a breath anchor meditation with a partner. Introduction to the Three Systems of Emotional Regulation – a model for how mindfulness helps people in different states of mind.
Session Four: Mindfulness in Action
Participants practice leading mindful movement in pairs and explore how they can bring mindfulness into their work, applying what they are learning on the course.

Session Five: Looking Ahead
A final opportunity to lead a practice with a partner; looking back over what we’ve covered and looking ahead to applying it.
