Periods of low mood can come to any of us. It might be tied to health, work, relationships or money, or a sense that life hasn't turned out as we'd hoped. Other times, there's no reason we can name at all, and yet we feel flat, dimmed, or somehow at a distance from our own life. 

However it arrives, low mood has a way of narrowing things. Energy fades, and small things can start to feel like too much.

It can pull the mind into cycles of rumination and self-criticism, causing us to draw away from the very people who might help. Leaving us to wonder whether we're the only one who feels this way.

Few of us are ever taught how to navigate low mood, or how to support ourselves when it's here.

This two-hour online workshop, led by mindfulness teacher and psychotherapist Julia Lofts, offers a calm and supportive space to explore your experience of low mood and overwhelm. 

Through guided mindfulness practices, reflection and shared learning, you'll be invited to meet difficult thoughts with more presence and self-compassion, and to build a kinder relationship with your inner experience.

What to expect

This two-hour workshop offers a calm space to explore your experience of low mood, and how mindfulness can help you build a more compassionate relationship with your inner experience.

Led by Julia Lofts — a mindfulness teacher and accredited psychotherapist — the session is grounded in a trauma-sensitive approach and includes:

• A clearer sense of how low mood affects attention, energy, and motivation, including the impact of stress and hormonal shifts on mood and thinking patterns

• Compassionate tools for responding to inner criticism

• Creative reflections to help make sense of your experience

• Optional space to share with others and connect to our shared human experience

• Practical ways to bring these practices into everyday life

• Mindfulness practices for grounding, stabilising, and easing the pull of rumination & negative thinking

⚠️ Please note: This course is educational in nature and does not offer diagnosis, clinical advice, or crisis support. It is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. The workshop offers evidence-based mindfulness tools that can complement existing support you may be receiving. 

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for anyone living with low mood, or a sense of emotional heaviness: whether it's been with you a long time, or has arrived more recently.

You might be moving through a tough period, finding your feet again after a difficult stretch, or facing a change in life that's asking more of you than usual. 

You're equally welcome if you simply want to look after yourself with more self-compassion and care. 

No previous mindfulness experience is needed.
