A game changer!
Highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn some solid wellbeing practices to implement in daily life. Whether you are looking to form new habits or combat anxiety, this course provides the foundations to follow through with these desires and not leave them to one side for a later day. I found the framework on how to reflect upon thoughts in the monkey mind session was particularly enlightening: what I would call "a game changer!" Thank you Roddy.

Oh yes! The Monkey Mind!
Accessible, friendly and actionable mindfulness
The style of this course is incredibly welcoming, easy to pick up and provides valuable tools for something that couldn’t be more important: your experience of life. Attending the sessions was in itself a calming experience and I’ll be taking many points forwards - especially the importance of practice!

Absolutely agree - what could be more important!
Excellent place to start learning mindfulness meditation
Just finished a being for beginners course this week and though I am not a complete beginner in this area I learned quite a lot and it was rewarding enough that I didn't miss a single class.

Roddy was an excellent facilitator
Roddy was an excellent facilitator - knowledgable and kind. The course has helped me to manage/cope with recent stress and have a better understanding of how I can improve my wellbeing by being more connected with myself, nature and others.
