Training:
Person Centred Mindfulness and Trauma: An Introduction to Mindful Resilience Enhancement Training – Open evening
Wednesday 18th March 7pm-8.30pm via Zoom with Tim Duerden
https://buytickets.at/
A new series of Wednesday evening online training for Mindful Resilience Enhancement (MRE) begins with Part 1 starting April 29th 2026 for 6 sessions and continues with Part 2 starting October 7th 2026 for 6 sessions.
The core of MRE training is about how mindfulness approaches can be adapted to the needs of the individual and so it is a person centred approach to integrating mindfulness into your work. There is growing evidence that people who have experienced trauma need a person centred mindfulness approach adapted to their specific needs otherwise they are at risk of their trauma being worsened by poorly adapted mindfulness practices. Like any other approach, mindfulness approaches can cause harm.
This free online session will overview the MRE training and explore why a person centred approach to teaching mindfulness is so important for effective mindfulness teaching in general and when working in the context of client’s with a history of trauma in particular. So many people can have a history of trauma in all kinds of different contexts including less clinically focused contexts such as work-based, educational and wellbeing contexts. It therefore makes sense to approach all mindfulness teaching, whatever the context, so that it it is as safe as it can be for everyone whether or not an individual has a trauma history. This is a more inclusive and a safer way of working.
During this evening session there will be lots of opportunities to ask questions about what the training involves.
This training is offered via The Christie Institute for Cancer Education by Tim Duerden. (Note – the majority of the course fees for the course is donated to support the work of the Christie).
Part 1 experientially explores trauma-responsive mindfulness practices and around this experiential practice a theoretical framework is developed to help identify how mindfulness practices can be most safely offered in the context of trauma.
Part 2 then develops the theoretical framework of Part 1 and applies this to the specifics of offering mindfulness practices suited to your clients’ needs. This includes skills practice to develop your own way of guiding mindfulness practices again appropriate to your clients’ needs.
Starting Points – Helpful Ways of Introducing Mindfulness (Free Event)
Thursday 21 May 2026 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Share Your Experiences and Ideas About Ways to Introduce Mindfulness
While there can never be a perfect way to introduce mindfulness to everyone, there are perhaps ways that risk putting someone off from anything labelled as ‘mindfulness’.
Often with the best of intentions, an experience of mindfulness can be offered that leads someone to believe mindfulness is not for them – and this is such a shame.
How can mindfulness be introduced so people feel empowered to make choices about what is best for them? And how can the risk of shaming or dysregulating experiences be minimised?
This sessions shares a framework to help inform the setup of sessions to increase accessibility and reduce the risk of dysregulation and practical examples of ways of offering mindfulness. This framework emerges from a person-centred and trauma-responsive way of offering teaching mindfulness.
