Free Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course
Thanks to Hackney Giving we are able to run an 8 week course of Mindulness from early October at Pembury Community Centre Dalston Lane . The course has been described as ‘life changing’ by previous participants, and is aimed at people who are struggling with anxiety or stress, but can benefit people living with pain or depression.
It was the most successful of the funded Connect Hackney programmes a few years ago and they made a short film about it here Mindfulness. Connect Hackney – YouTube. The course will run weekly from 4th October – 22nd November 10-12.30 at Pembury Community Centre
