Common Queries About Our Course
To help you decide whether this is the right course for you take a look at our frequently asked questions for more information.
Do I need a mindfulness practice to be able to enrol on this course?
No, this course is accessible for everybody, and no previous mindfulness experience is needed
How long is the course?
The course is 8 hours in total, and we will meet for 2 hours each week for 4 consecutive weeks.
What resources will I receive?
When you enrol for the course, you will receive recordings of 3 practices to download, and a student handbook.
What will happen during a session?
Your tutor will lead each session, during which they will share information with you about mindfulness and compassion, and you will also take part in some guided practices and activities. After each activity the tutor will invite participants to share their experiences, if they feel comfortable to share.
What happens if I can’t make one of the sessions?
We do recommend that before enrolling on the course that you can commit to each of the dates. We are also aware that life does not always go to plan, and so if you can’t make a session then we ask you to contact your tutor.
Who is the course for?
The course was designed to support those people who care for others, and so it works well for people who are time poor and want to learn tools that can fit into their busy schedule.
The course is also relevant for anyone who is looking for tools and techniques to support their wellbeing. We work with people from across the world, who join the course to learn more about mindfulness and compassion.
What is the commitment for home practice?
All the home practices are 10 minutes long, and we would recommend you do that at least 5 days out of 7. We also encourage you to bring mindfulness into your daily routine, with shorter practices too.
What is the difference between this course and the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course?
The Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) course is a standalone course, but can be a good course to do either before or after completing the 8-week MBSR course. The 4-week course is an introductory course teaching simple, effective, evidence-based practices, skills and techniques to help manage stress, develop resilience and enhance wellbeing using Mindfulness and Compassion. The CMR course offers a light touch introduction to mindfulness, and introduces shorter practices for the participants to use.
