Coming to Our Senses - Rethinking Mindfulness from the Ground Up with Iwan Brioc.

"Coming to Our Senses" is a groundbreaking eight-week mindfulness program developed by Iwan Brioc, integrating his expertise in applied and experimental theatre with a non-duality informed approach to teaching mindfulness. A recent pilot with NHS staff revealed promising, albeit tentative, signs of its positive impact on mental health, even among participants who attended only half of the sessions.

"For me, the development and teaching of this novel approach has led to a critical reassessment of the foundational principles of how mindfulness is traditionally taught through established models like MBSR and MBCT. It poses important questions: Is there a need to rethink our approach to mindfulness education? In our commitment to a strictly secular methodology, have we potentially "thrown the baby out with the bathwater"?

This workshop offers participants a chance to experience a sample of the new program and engage in a dialogue about these questions and other emerging thoughts. This session invites attendees to explore and perhaps challenge the conventional paradigms of mindfulness training.
