For people living in Cumbria who would like to learn mindfulness we offer a number of courses in Carlisle and Penrith.

The ‘Quiet Mind’ meditation and mindfulness course is a progressive course, taught over 8 weeks in a live class, and offers residents in Cumbria the opportunity to develop their own daily mindfulness practice which they can use for the rest of their lives.

• Tense and anxious
• Worried about physical and mental health because of the above
