Some resources to support your learning:

Theme#2 – Perspective: Learning New Ways of Being.

Learning how different modes of being and doing can serve us as at different times. We can think, problem solve and plan. But we can also tune in directly to another way of being; holding our moment-by-moment experience with kindness, care and steadiness. There is great skill in knowing when each mode serves us best.

Some resources to support your learning:

Perspective: Learning New Ways of Knowing and Being

Breathing Space mindfulness practice

Theme#3 – Responding (not reacting).

Having steadied our attention and created some space, we start to have a choice about how we respond. We cover some of the basics of what resources us to meet challenges with courage, clarity and wisdom. We’ll signpost the many ways in which you can continue to learn and apply these skills in your everyday life.

Some resources to support your learning:
