About the event:
The Mindfulness Centre at Bangor University was founded 20 years ago by Mark Williams, following his leadership there in developing MBCT. Over the last two decades, the centre has been at the forefront in the emergence of the field of mindfulness-based teaching, training, and research. This series of events celebrates the centre’s pioneering work. It also provides an opportunity to launch the new ‘Essential Resources for Mindfulness Teachers' book – which is an edited gathering of 20 years’ work by the Bangor University training team. The book brings together in one volume a wealth of resources to accompany the mindfulness-based teacher on their training journey. It will be also be a much-needed reference for established teachers.
Each event will offer an opportunity to update current practice in a range of areas, and to gain a perspective on the evolving development process we are all part of. It will also enable us to come together as a community to support and nourish each other in our life and work.
This first event in the series, heralds the publication of the book ‘Essential Resources for Mindfulness Teachers' which brings together the key resources that have been developed by the Bangor University training team over 20 years for their mindfulness-based trainees. Trish Bartley, one of the founding Bangor teachers, will host the session. She has been integral to the CMRP development process and has pioneered practice in several areas. She will lead conversation and reflection with the three editors of the Essential Resources book: Rebecca Crane, Karunavira and Gemma Griffiths.
Join us for this celebration which will include some guided meditation practice, personal reflections from Rebecca, Karunavira, and Gemma on their practice, and experience of writing and developing the book and the centre at Bangor. There will also be some space for questions from the audience.
The workshop will take place online using Zoom.
