Explore awareness. Discover new possibilities.
Aware Living is a six-week course to help you recognise familiar patterns, respond to stress with greater resilience and make more conscious choices.
Suitable for those new to meditation and past MBSR participants wanting to refresh their practice and explore awareness more deeply.
Awareness for daily life
Drawing on the core practices of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Aware Living combines meditation, mindful movement and relaxation with deeper enquiry into awareness itself.

Practices such as Blue Sky Mind invite you to explore a more spacious way of meeting thoughts and emotions, opening possibilities for greater freedom and ease.
Through guided practice and discussion, learn to bring this awareness into everyday life, work and relationships.
What we explore
- Stress and its effects on mind and body
- Autopilot versus the power of presence
- Easing tension through body awareness
- Recognising habitual thoughts and reactions
- Responding rather than reacting
- Meeting the inner critic and difficult emotions with compassion
- Making more conscious choices in everyday life
Practical guidance and clear explanations of the science behind the practices support your learning throughout the course.
