8 MONTH (32 WEEKS) MINDFULNESS COURSE WITH ANTHONY

This 32 week (8 month) Mindfulness course was developed by Anthony Harris, a long term practitioner of Mindfulness, He has drawn from his experience to enhance the 8 week Mindfulness course by giving the course attendee a deep understanding of Mindfulness. This course will only be run once a year.

The purpose of the 8 Week Mindfulness Training was to act as an introduction to Mindfulness, so that the student was familiar with the fundamental aspects of Mindfulness practice. Proceeding on from here is this 8 Month Mindfulness Training. It is designed to lead the participant deeper into their understanding and practice of Mindfulness, and how to integrate this into everyday life.

In this 8-month training, we will be exploring ways of continuing to mature our minds, of gaining more insight into the psychological and energetic blocks that we experience as human beings, which directly or indirectly, affect our practice.

Much of the work will be about us gaining a deepening appreciation and understanding of what we mean by “relationship” i.e. how we primarily relate to ourselves and as a consequence, how we relate to our environment and the other beings within it. It will be about gaining a clearer insight and application of what underpins this whole process. If we practice and reflect on our practice, we will begin to appreciate that the journey of Mindfulness is really about Heartfulness i.e. that it is Compassion that we really need, if we are to understand what we are doing as meditators.

The main practices will be our individual meditation. There will be formal mindfulness practices as well as informal mindfulness practices. These will in turn be supported by the use of enquiry, reflective practice and the use of journal keeping. These practices need to be done in conjunction to one another if we are to truly integrate with what we are doing, and benefit as a result.

This is essentially a journey of discovery. It is about honing our skill in relationship, both inner and outer, which is essentially about compassion and kindness.
