Do you want to change your lifestyle to a healthier way of living?

This is your chance to create the causes and conditions in your life for your health to flourish through positive changes in habits of eating and movement.  Our aim on this course is to support each other with kindness and care to move to a more healthy lifestyle through insights from practices taken from the Mindfulness Association’s mindfulness, compassion & insight trainings. This is combined with an exploration of evidence-based information about beneficial nutrition, activity and rest approaches. We will share lots of free and evidence-based resources and you can then choose your own combinations of approaches to explore. The course will be led by Heather Regan-Addis experienced mindfulness tutor and Ki (Michaela) James experienced dietitian with 30 years experience of clinical work in the NHS.
