Course info:
Before the course, each course participant and the course instructor will have a personal interview lasting approx. 60 minutes. This takes place either at the Centre for Mindfulness or online via Zoom. The interview is included in the price.
Mindfulness is not a panacea. Mindfulness training is not recommended for some mental illnesses or traumatic stress. The interview also serves to clarify any questions in this regard in advance.
