Hosted by the National Centre for Integrative Medicine, this is a free series of 8 Mindfulness courses specifically designed to support those impacted by cancer, thanks to funding awarded by Resonance and Access, The Foundation for Social Investment. 

We learn that when our attention is caught up in the past or in the future, we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. Mindfulness helps us recognise these automatic reactions and understand them as part of normal human experience. This can allow kindness to replace self-criticism, as we would offer to others but rarely do for ourselves.
