• For people already familiar with meditation and mindfulness
• For health professionals wanting to incorporate mindfulness-based approaches into their work with patients
  

We offer full training for anyone with at least a year's experience of regular mindfulness and meditation practice. It consists of two residential intensive courses of one week each, plus some teaching under supervision if you want to become a fully qualified Breathworks trainer.

For experienced meditators who do not want to qualify fully as a Breathworks trainer, these retreats are still suitable as an introduction to mindfulness-based approaches to health care and stress reduction.

From time to time we run workshops for health care professionals, to introduce people to mindfulness-based interventions. These workshops are suitable for anyone working in the area of pain management and stress related problems and who wish to understand how mindfulness can be used in health care.

We introduce the theory and practice of mindfulness as well as presenting some of the research outcomes of the Breathworks programme. We also discuss how we can help you establish a personal practice of your own and begin to introduce mindfulness into your work with others.

Following a highly successful four-day residential training retreat in New Zealand in February 2007, we plan to run further retreats in New Zealand and/or Australia. These retreats are aimed at teaching mindfulness-based approaches to healthcare in mind-body medicine either professionally or for personal interest and circumstances. If you are interested in attending one of these events, please contact Breathworks.

From time to time we run residential retreats for those who are training with us or have completed our Living Well with Pain and Illness and Living Well with Stress programmes.

The next retreat is 14 - 19 July 2008
