“Our attitude in the face of life’s challenges determines our suffering or our freedom.”

Discover sustainable peace and calm, with a structured program designed to enhance mental well-being and promote peaceful vitality.
This course combines elements of cognitive therapy with mindfulness practice, and has been known to profoundly change lives. The course is usually eight weeks with a full day’s retreat towards the end, but it can be tailored to account for degrees of mobility and how long participants can comfortably focus. It can be delivered online or in person as best suits.
The Mindful Peace Programme
• It introduces evidence based processes that help to overcome trauma, including body awareness and somatics.
• It shows you how to become better acquainted with your thoughts as thoughts, rather than facts.
• It helps you to access your emotions and work with them, so that they don’t become overwhelming.
• It incorporates pioneering research from Dr Daniel Siegel’s Interpersonal Neurobiology to underpin your experiences with a conceptual understanding of the mind.
• Gradually you come to a deeper understanding of your mind and body, which allows you greater command over where you spend your attention and therefore how you experience the world.
“Being diagnosed with motor neurone disease was devastating. I couldn’t stop my mind racing and the worrying was all consuming. I spoke to Sarah, and she said that there are two types of suffering; the suffering you endure with the illness and its progression, and the suffering you get from what your mind does with it all.
I did her mindfulness course, and at first I would just experience breaks from the overthinking. As the course went on, I found I could use the tools to calm the anxiety and stop racing thoughts taking hold. I can manage what is happening in my life in a much more positive way.
Sarah is very calm and gentle, her confident and perceptive way of working has meant that I have felt totally supported as I have moved through the course. At all times I felt my needs were being met with understanding and care.”
