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.
