22.01.2022 The next Mindfulness course is starting again in about two weeks, on Monday 14th Oct at Buderim. Some feedback from a recent course participant: "This course is the best thing I have ever done. Since starting, I have (very importantly) improved my relationship with my son; I managed to feel my true feelings and thus broke up with the guy I was dating; and, I have learned to hear one of the predominant voices in my head and interrupt the previously constant negative commentary playing out in my grey matter. And if that weren't enough, I've benefited from a whole host of other things like reduced anxiety, increased confidence, being more assertive, feeling more calm, content and happy."

15.01.2022 People sometimes say to me that they are just ‘too sensitive’, or ‘too emotional’. This is often said with an air of self-judgement and dislike, and a bit of despair at having been unable to change themselves. When I inquire a bit further with them, it often turns out that the ‘too sensitive/emotional’ bit is what their parents and other family members would communicate to them when they were young. Sometimes this would be said explicitly, but often also implicitly, through t...heir behaviour and attitudes, e.g. ignoring the child when they were upset. I personally think that there is no such thing as being ‘too’ sensitive or emotional, that there is nothing wrong with being more sensitive or emotional than the people around you. I think sensitive people are almost always also very caring and compassionate people who can do a lot of good in the world because they deeply care. But admittedly, it is often not easy to learn to live with yourself and navigate life when you are more sensitive and emotional than most people around you. The idea that their is something wrong with you when you are having a (strong) emotion can also easily leading to us trying to deny, suppress, control or get rid of these emotions. Which usually does actually make them worse or leads to other problems. So it can be very valuable to get some help and guidance with learning to manage and live in harmony with ourselves and our emotions. Mindfulness-based counselling and psychotherapy can be very helpful with this.

09.01.2022 Tomorrow (Sunday), my lovely friend and mindfulness colleague Heather Albrecht will be offering a (free) workshop in Kenmore Hills: "Facing Climate Change with Active Hope". Facing the reality of climate change can be emotionally and psychologically challenging, and with this workshop we want to support people in this difficult but important process. Our aim is for you to leave the workshop with a sense of Active Hope (a phrase coined by Joanna Macey). Active Hope is about feeling alive and hopeful, and being active in support of the future we hope for. We are very much looking forward to it and hope you will join us!

02.01.2022 Free Online Movie Premiere of 'My Year of Living Mindfully' now on, untill 3rd June. A bit of background information: Overwhelmed with insomnia and an incurable autoimmune disease, Shannon Harvey needed to make a change. But while the award-winning health journalist found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, when she looked for the equivalent of a 30-minute workout for her mental wellbeing, there was nothing. Worried for the future mental health of her kid...s who were growing up amidst epidemics of stress, anxiety, depression and addiction, in a world-first experiment, Shannon recruited a team of scientists to put mindful meditation to the test. But after a 30,000 kilometre journey from the bright lights of Manhattan to the dusty refugee camps of the Middle East, what begins as a self-experiment, transforms into a life-changing experience. My Year of Living Mindfully is filled with compelling stories, interviews with 18 leading scientists, and unexpected insights that go to the heart of what it means to be human in the twenty-first century. https://www.myyearoflivingmindfully.com/opengroundpremiere
