Misneach: Mindfulness and Meditation.
What You Will Actually Learn
Six live, 120-minute* sessions, building in order, each one assumes what came before it, so the group grows together rather than restarting each week.
1. Arriving Foundations: what mindfulness and meditation actually are, and how they differ, the ground rules for a safe and honest room, and a genuinely fascinating look at where the mind is said to "live". You'll also get your first taste of practice: a short, guided breathing exercise and a brief seated meditation, so you're not just hearing about the difference, you're feeling it.
2. Mindfulness I: Present-Moment Awareness Moving from theory into practice: the breath as an anchor, noticing autopilot, and bringing attention into ordinary daily life.
3. Mindfulness II: Working with Thoughts & Emotions The real substance of the course: understanding thoughts as mental events rather than facts, working skilfully with difficult emotions, and building genuine self-compassion.
4. Mindful Communication & Daily Life Taking everything built so far into conversations and everyday choices, including a live mindful-listening practice with a partner.
5. Meditation: Building a Formal Practice Sampling real techniques, focused attention, loving-kindness, open monitoring, and building a sustainable personal routine.
6. Practice A longer, more spacious closing session: sustained sitting, reflecting on the full journey, and a concrete plan for keeping the practice alive afterward.
*Each session is intended to run for 90 minutes, with an optional 30 minutes afterward for group Q&A. Stay if it's useful to you, or go once the core session ends, either way, block the full 120 so you're not caught out.
What’s included
Six live 90-minute group sessions, capped at 12 people, so nothing gets lost in a crowd

Practice guides between sessions to keep the habit alive during the week
Who This Is For
You don't need any prior experience, and you don't need to already be "good" at sitting still, this programme is built to take you from wherever you're starting.
A Note From Me
This programme brings together everything I've learned since I started my own practice years ago, refined through a decade of continued practice and deepened by a month of monastic training in Thailand in July 2026.
Common Questions
Do I need to be religious, or spiritual, to do this?
No. The roots of these practices are contemplative, but what's taught here is secular and evidence-based.What if I have to miss a session?
Life happens, if you miss one, I'll send you a short written summary and the practice recording, so you're not left behind for the following week.Do I need to be able to "clear my mind"?
No, and that's actually a myth we bust directly in Session 1. Thoughts don't stop; the practice is noticing them without judgment.What you'll actually get out of this
A calmer, steadier mind. Consistent practice has been shown to produce real, physical changes in brain regions tied to memory, self-awareness, and stress response.
Less anxious, less reactive, day to day. Regular practice is linked to genuine reductions in everyday stress and anxiety, not just a nice feeling in the room that fades by Monday.
Better relationships. Even if you're the only one practicing, research shows a personal mindfulness practice measurably improves relationship satisfaction, even when only one partner is doing the work.
A skill you keep, not a course you finish. Six sessions building a practice that holds up, long after the programme ends.
