Inperson 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course
Wednesdays from 19.00 to 21.15 CET, starting on 24 September 2025
with certified Mindfulness Teacher Rainer Arndt
Overcoming stress and burnout
Do you find yourself sometimes wanting to respond to situations with choice rather than reacting automatically? Or perhaps you’d like to learn how to recognise the signs of stress in your body, or more skilfully deal with challenging patterns of emotions and thoughts?
If this sounds like something you can relate to, then this course might be for you!
This eight-week programme has been designed to help you learn how to pay attention to all of your experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant. In paying attention and noticing it’s possible to bring yourself out of auto-pilot and find nourishing ways to include a sense of mindfulness to your daily life.
Developing your capacity to cope
It is important to recognise when you are in overwhelm mode. And you can learn to develop mental resources to help you cope with the challenges you are facing and also restore your energy levels.
Mindfulness offers many tried and trusted tools that can help deal with stress and uncertainty. You can learn to cultivate attitudes that help you to deal with difficult emotions and find more balance independently of what life presents.
Increasing resilience and wellbeing
Imagine you wake up in the morning feeling confident that you can handle whatever the day brings. You might still experience stress, feel annoyed or be anxious at times, but these feelings don’t determine your life so much anymore. You feel calmer, more focused, and you are able to enjoy the good things more.
Practicing mindfulness can bring such a shift towards greater mental and emotional wellbeing.
