Meditate
Learn your body’s language, listen and pay attention to its needs.
Fridays 9-10 am CET or in your own time via the live recordings
Drawing on the clinical tools of Mindfulness Based Approaches and Compassion Focused Therapy these classes are designed to build psychological flexibility, increase emotional resilience and sharpen your perspective-taking skills. You will be empowered to momentarily step back from your narrative and connect with a broader viewpoint, offering fresh insights into your experiences, a journey of self-discovery and mental growth.
Your breath and body can become reliable anchors, facilitating an easy return to focus amidst distractions or life's demands. Through these transformative practices, you can uncover the possibilities of finding mental calm—a reservoir of composure and resilience, equipping you to gracefully navigate life's trials.
If anyone is wondering how this all works, it's a really powerful way of feeding your unconscious mind with messages of calm and security. My whole life has been changed by this method. Can't recommend enough.

The Atelier
Part One
We begin the practice of stepping out of the habitual doing mode by paying attention, intentionally, mindfully, and compassionately, to sensations of the body and aspects of everyday experiences. Whilst sessions often offer an immediate sense of relaxation and calm in the long term over time you build new neural pathways that have a cumulative effect and it is often months later under extreme stress that we notice the positive side effects of this intervention.
Part Two
We then move into an activity-based meditation of taking tea together, resting in our senses and modelling to ourselves how we can capture this present moment awareness within the simple activities of daily living. We then move into a period of reflection, an opportunity to share in the practice and rest in quiet reflection together or journal (for those unable to attend lives sessions 1:1 support is available).
Part Three
To close you will be introduced to an activity-based mindful compassion-based practice you are encouraged to weave into your daily life over the coming week. Reinforcing the neural pathway development you have been training in the session.
“As someone with a complex medical history learning to meditate under the care of a qualified healthcare professional allowed me to feel safe and fully benefit from the healing potential of these mindfulness practices.” - JM
2024-2025 Term dates
The Body Keeps The Score - Bessel van der Kolk
This year we will be exploring Bessel van der Kolks epic book, we’ll approach it chapter by chapter and explore the nueroscience and psychology of our experiences as a platform to create new neural pathways. The sessions act as stand-alone classes, though this clinical wellbeing tool offers a cumulative effect so highly recommended to sign up for a full term to observe the benefits, as little as six sessions have been shown to develop new neural pathways, with 12 weeks being a gold standard.
6th of September - 20th of December (14 sessions two week break 28th September and 1st November)
10th January to 11th April 2025 (12 sessions two week break 21st and 28th February)
2nd of May to 4th July (10 sessions)
Back 5th September
15€ per session or 12.50€ if booked as a block (possibility to make monthly payments)
Term 1, 175€ (4 monthly payments of 43.74€)
Term 2, 150€ (3 payments of 50€)
Term 3, 125€ (3 payments of 41.67€)
450€ in total this can be paid monthly at 45€ per month over 10 months
Peace of mind that you’re undertaking this delicate work with a deeply human, registered, licensed and insured healthcare professional is, quite frankly, priceless.
Each session is recorded and available for replay.
Each week we will build on the practices and committing to a weekly session allows you to maximise the benefits of the techniques, and allows for consistency of social contact and support.
The class may not be suitable for those who are currently severely depressed, or experiencing acute stress or anxiety, please reach out if you feel you fit in that category and we can discuss options.
