Weekly Meeting: 5 Proven Routes Out of Worry & Depression

This week we'll be taking an in-depth look at the five powerful, scientifically-proven routes out of recurring depression, low mood and oppressive worry that are central to mindfulness – and which form the secret key to cultivating mental and emotional well-being in the modern world.

And we'll be doing this with the help of some powerful teaching and insights from several leading experts in the field mental and emotional health - including the highly acclaimed psychotherapist, Gabor Mate, the distinguished Professor of Psychology and Mood Disorders at the University of Toronto, Zindel Segal PhD (who is one of the co-creators of MBCT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which is one of the main forms of structured modern mindfulness), and the leading neuroscientist and mindfulness coach, Sam Harris.

During the evening we'll be seeking to gain a clear and straightforward understanding of what these five highly effective approaches actually are, how (and why) they work, and (perhaps most importantly of all) how we can begin to apply them straight away in our own busy, everyday lives, in a practical way that can help us to transform our own lives in a meaningful way.

The meeting will be packed full of helpful insights, advice and expert teaching, with Gabor, Zindel and Sam sharing their understanding and wisdom with us in a number of short but uplifting segments of video teaching. Plus Shaun Glossop (our group Co-Ordinator, who is a highly experienced mindfulness teacher here in the East Midlands) will be on-hand, as usual, to host the night and to guide us through the evening's topic in a down-to-earth and easy to understand way.

In addition, the meeting will include several periods of relaxing guided meditation, plus some useful practice tips that we can take away and apply immediately in our day-to-day lives.
