One-to-One Mindfulness Sessions
Mindfulness is usually taught in small groups, as there is greater opportunity for learning from other participants and their interaction with the facilitator of the course. Many people also enjoy the supportive environment of the group during their mindfulness practice. However, if you would prefer, The Mindful Zen is able to deliver mindfulness sessions on a one-to-one basis, starting from £80 per hour. Sessions can be tailored to introduce you to mindfulness, help you to develop a regular mindfulness practice or learn strategies to manage a particular issue.
The Mindful Zen also offers the entire MBLC or CBLC course online via Zoom on a one-to-one basis (8 sessions x 1.5 hours) for £900. To find out more or to book this one-to-one course please contact us today.
