Modern life rarely makes space to pause. Work, relationships and responsibility place constant demands on the mind — and over time, that quiet pressure becomes the norm. We keep functioning, but often at a cost, carrying tension, reactivity and a growing sense of disconnection from ourselves.

This 6-week in-person mindfulness course offers a grounded and supportive way to step out of that pattern. Designed with working minds in mind, it introduces mindfulness not as an escape from daily life, but as a way of meeting it with greater steadiness, clarity and care.

Guided by Eran — a meditation teacher trained in forest monasteries under Buddhist masters and drawing on a lived experience of sustained personal practice — the course adapts traditional Buddhist meditation practices, modern science informed mindfulness in a way that is secular, accessible and directly relevant to modern work, relationships and everyday challenges.

Through guided meditation, reflection and shared inquiry, you'll explore how mindfulness can support real life: calming the nervous system, softening reactivity and fostering a deeper sense of balance and presence.

Why Take This Course?

Over six weeks, you will learn how to:

1. Notice stress before it takes hold Develop the ability to recognise what your body and mind are doing before tension builds into reaction — catching it early, rather than managing the fallout.

2. Stay present without running away Build the quiet capacity to be with your experience as it is — not escaping into distraction or busyness, but allowing awareness to grow through gentle, honest attention.

3. Meet difficult emotions with steadiness Not suppressing what arises, not rushing to fix it — but learning to sit with what is present and discovering that you are more resilient than you think.

4. See your thoughts more clearly Understand how the thinking mind shapes your experience, and learn to relate to thoughts with perspective rather than being pulled along by them.

5. Bring mindfulness into real life At work, in conversation, at home — you'll explore how presence can quietly change the way you show up in the moments that matter most, without effort or performance.

6. Build a practice that actually lasts Not another habit to maintain or a box to tick — but a lived, grounded approach to daily life that grows with you long after the course ends.

More on the Course…

  • This course asks for a genuine commitment — including a daily meditation practice for its duration.

    The material is designed to invite honest reflection, gently encouraging you to look at what may be standing in the way of peace in your own life.

    This is as much a journey of introspection and self-enquiry as it is of learning, with the aim of cultivating a sustainable, grounded mindfulness practice that extends beyond the sessions themselves.

    Expect interactive group discussions and the opportunity to maintain a mindful journal as part of the process.

    This course may be for you if you:

    • Are juggling the demands of work alongside inner pressure

    • Feel busy on the outside but tired on the inside

    • Are seeking clarity, steadiness and a greater sense of presence in daily life

    • Value human connection and the support of a like-minded community

    No prior meditation experience or background in Buddhism is required

  • The course is taught in a secular and accessible way, drawing on classical Buddhist mindfulness training while remaining relevant to everyday working life.

    There is no requirement to adopt beliefs, identities, or religious views.

    Each weekly session includes:

    • Short, grounded teachings rooted in lived experience

    • Guided meditation practices (sitting, standing, walking)

    • Time for reflection and quiet inquiry

    • Opportunities for questions and shared learning

    The emphasis is on learning through direct experience, not just intellectual understanding.

  • Eran has been teaching meditation, mindfulness and Vipassana in Asia and the West for the past 10+ years. He has designed and curated mindfulness offerings for government and private organisational bodies supporting Mindfulness practices in the workplace and beyond.

    Eran has lived monastic training in meditation from his time of training at Forest monasteries in Myanmar and Sri Lanka and works to deliver these time-tested practices in a manner that is safe and suitable for daily life in the west.

    • In-person Session: Once per week, 1.5 hours each

    • Guided Practice: We will be meditating each week and checking on progress made in at-home meditation practice.

    • Workbooks & Journals: Reflection sheets and practice logs

    • Community: Optional sharing and support in a kind, non-judgmental space

  • As this is a structured course, we ask that all participants commit to attending every session.

    If a session is missed, a one-to-one catch-up with Eran can be arranged to cover the material and practices from that week.

    Please note that these individual sessions are chargeable at £30.

  • Week 1 — Arriving Where You Are We begin simply — by learning to pause. In the middle of full schedules and busy minds, this first session introduces the practice of arriving: in your body, your breath and the present moment, without needing anything to be different.

    Week 2 — Breaking the Autopilot Most of us move through our days on automatic — reacting, rushing, barely noticing. This week we begin to recognise those patterns, learning how to gently redirect attention and return to awareness without self-criticism.

    Week 3 — Sitting with Difficulty Stress, discomfort and pressure are part of life. Rather than fighting or avoiding them, this session explores what happens when we meet difficulty with steadiness — discovering that presence itself can become a source of resilience.

    Week 4 — Working with the Thinking Mind The mind produces thoughts constantly — often anxious, critical or future-focused. This week we learn to see thoughts for what they are: passing events in awareness, not facts to believe or commands to follow.

    Week 5 — Mindfulness in Relationships and Work Mindfulness isn't just for the cushion. This session brings the practice into daily life — exploring how greater presence can shift the way we listen, communicate and respond in our relationships and at work.

    Week 6 — Making it Last The final week is about roots. We look honestly at how to carry these practices forward — not as another thing to perfect, but as a quiet, sustainable thread running through everyday life.
