Group: Let's get started with mindfulness!

Workshop

Date: Wednesday 6 November 2024

Time: 12.15 – 12.45

Location: Ekosalen, Studenthuset at Stockholm University

Do you want to start healthy mindfulness habits in an easy way? We'll help you from start to goal in six weeks. Join us on Thursdays from 12:30-13:15, starting 7 September.

Research shows several benefits of mindfulness and meditation when it comes to your health and wellbeing. It can help you to reduce stress and feel more present and relaxed in your daily life.

 

How the group works

During a six-week period, we'll guide you and motivate you to start a regular mindfulness practice. We'll meet once a week during the lunch break and do mindfulness and meditation together. 

We'll start at a basic level with seven minutes of meditation and then gradually increase the length of the meditations. Each session will include two guided exercises and we'll share tips and insights about meditation. 

I felt very welcome and liked the mindfulness exercises. It felt accessible for people without a lot of experience.
