Maintaining Your Practice
with Follow-On Classes
Maintaining your meditation practice after the course has finished is often a struggle. Without the structure of a follow-on course it's easy to lose track, stop practising and get down-hearted and even give up. All of us go through periods like this but the important thing to remember is that you can start again, at any time, and over and over again. Practising with others is an excellent way to support your practice which is why I offer the Meditation Maintenance classes.
“Mindfulness practice requires personal discipline and commitment. Yet because we do not live our lives as independent, self-contained islands, we are always in relationship. Working with others via the medium of practice can be a powerful source of sustenance and inspiration.”
Saki Santorelli, Stress Reduction Clinic, Massachusetts
ABOUT THE CLASSES
They are informal and yet structured - a coming together of 'graduates' of the 8-week course so we can support each other’s practice through discussion and a range of familiar and new meditations.
The follow-on classes take place once a month for a three-month block. They offer an opportunity to meet and practise together with the intention of refreshing, sustaining and deepening our practice and understanding of mindfulness.
If you haven’t been practising since the course ended this can be an opportunity to re-engage and kickstart your practice with the support of others!
I will provide materials to support you and reflect on in the weeks between the sessions. You will also have access to the 'Graduate Resource Centre' which is an online resource with handouts and guided meditations to download.
There is no formal home practice set but you will be encouraged to establish and/or deepen your practice during the period.
Note: These follow-on classes are only open to those who have completed an 8-week MBCT or MBSR course.
"I really enjoyed the meditation maintenance session last week. It is really helpful to retain a link with yourselves and other course graduates to try to keep going with the practice!
