Mentoring

What I Offer

Mentoring usually takes the form of 1 hour individual sessions which can be taken any time after completing a foundation 8-week course, whether this was with me or another teacher.

Bring your particular current needs, meditation challenges, questioning, and using a mindfulness enquiry approach, I will facilitate an exploration of these issues and offer support and guidance anchored in mindfulness practice.

What we can cover:

• Review of your practice

  • how has it unfolded since taking the course?

  • Has it stayed alive or are you experiencing stuckness, dullness, frequent lapses?

  • Looking at obstacles to practicing.

  • Re-connecting with valuable learnings and benefits.

  • Where to go next?

  • What needs to emerge?

  • How can your practice best serve you?

• Difficulties occurring with practice 

  • enquiring into them

  • possibly looking at adaptations that would better suit your needs

• How your practice can support youin managing and navigating current life challenges more skilfully

  • (life changes, health challenges, work problems, relationship difficulties, etc.)

• Support with informal practice

  • the embedding of mindfulness in everyday life

• Review and further exploration of mindful attitudinal foundations:

  • non-judging

  • patience

  • beginner’s mind

  • trust

  • non-striving

  • acceptance

  • letting go

  • befriending
