Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L)

8 week MBCT-L course

Mindfulness for Life is a course that aims to cultivate mindfulness for the body, emotions, and mind so that life can be lived with a greater sense of well-being, kindness, and resilience. It is an evidence-based course developed by the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, drawing on research from the University of Oxford and other leading research centres.

  • Control over reactions over life's ups and downs

  • Improve physical and mental well-being

  • Integrate what has been learned into daily life

What skills are learned during the MBCT-L course?

  • Developing a better understanding of how the mind works

  • Recognising patterns/mental habits – and recognising that there are alternatives

  • Stepping back and looking at difficult thoughts and feelings from a broader perspective

  • Recognize early warning signs of stress, anxiety, and low mood and take helpful action

  • To be kinder and gentler to yourself

Before the course, each participant and the course instructor will have a personal interview of about 60 minutes. This takes place either at the Center for Mindfulness or online via Zoom. The conversation is included in the price.

Mindfulness is not a panacea. For some mental illnesses or traumatic stress, mindfulness training is not recommended. The meeting also serves to clarify questions in this regard in advance.
