Learn coping skills in a small supportive group with Kate, who is an experienced teacher. Mindfulness can help you to manage stress and anxiety.

People who’ve done Kate’s courses say:

“When I came to the course I was stressed and anxious all the time. Now I’m a lot calmer”

 “I felt very depressed when I came here. The course has changed my life. I’ve always felt before that I couldn’t relax but now I can and I feel so much happier.”

 “The practices have really helped me get through a very difficult time.”

Learn to be kinder to yourself

Fine for people of any religion
