💻 Format: 2-hour 45min Online masterclass 
🙋‍♀ Suitable For: All experience levels, including those new to mindfulness

Overview

Join psychologist and author Dr Rick Hanson and Breathworks founder Vidyamala Burch OBE, in this masterclass exploring what neuroscience can tell us about building lasting wellbeing. Rick explores the brain's capacity to change, and how compassion can slowly reshape us. Vidyamala, drawing on her own life with pain and illness, offers ways to find ease in the midst of difficulty. Includes two guided meditations and a live Q&A session.

What You'll Gain

• A grounding in the science: an accessible look at how awareness and compassion practices affect the brain, drawn from evolutionary neuroscience and current research.

• The idea of taking in the good: how deliberately internalising experiences of calm, contentment and inner peace can, over time, help build steadier habits of mind.

• A perspective on living with difficulty: Vidyamala shares approaches to finding greater ease and wellbeing alongside pain and illness, informed by her own experience.

• Two guided practices: one led by Rick and one by Vidyamala, each followed by time for enquiry and reflection.

• A sense of how these ideas meet real life: an open Q&A and discussion exploring how the science and the practices apply to everyday challenges.
  
  

Is This Event For Me?

This masterclass is open to everyone, including those new to mindfulness. If you live with pain, illness or ongoing stress, you may find particular resonance in Vidyamala's account of building resilience in the midst of difficulty.

Mindfulness teachers may also find elements of this session useful for CPD, particularly Rick's account of positive neuroplasticity and the practice of internalising beneficial states.
