Group Mindfulness Course (MBCT-L)

We invite you to join us for 8 weeks of mindfulness practice on consecutive Mondays starting from September 9, in a safe, small group.

The course was developed by scientists from Oxford University under the name MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) as a group mindfulness training aimed at preventing relapse of depression. It currently has much broader applications, not only in the field of health but also in education and other areas where developing mindfulness brings significant benefits.

MBCT-L (for Life) is the latest version of this program, which offers mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral approaches in a way that makes them accessible to everyone. The course instructs participants on how to apply mindfulness practice in daily life both to cope with difficulties and to cultivate joy, compassion, peace, and wisdom. The theory underlying MBCT-L combines ancient wisdom and contemporary psychology. The effectiveness of the program has been demonstrated by numerous clinical studies: https://fundacja-mindfulness.org/mindfulness/.
