We are more than happy to visit schools or colleges in South Wales to deliver mindfulness workshops to both primary and secondary school children.  To find out further information on our mindfulness workshops in schools, please contact our chief executive Lorraine Harris on 02920 860054 or email her

We have delivered mindfulness training to both students and teachers at the University of Wales Institute of Cardiff and we would welcome the opportunity to work in higher education again.

We’ve put some comments from our mindfulness sessions in UWIC below:

I am writing to say what excellent benefits the Mindfulness teaching provided by Lorraine Harris from Samye Foundation Wales has had on our BSc (Hons) in Speech and Language Therapy undergraduate students and as a result of which, the university is expanding its links with Samye Foundation.     Francesca Cooper, Senior Lecturer in Speech and Language Therapy

 

Student feedback comments  included:

 ‘It was useful when I felt pressure/stress increasing, to employ the techniques we learned. I found being more aware of my thoughts made it easier to deal with them and prevented negative thoughts from building up.  I have been able to put things into perspective which helped me organise myself much more easily and focus on things when they need to be focused on – i.e. not worrying unnecessarily.’  

 

‘The techniques are very calming and relieve a ‘racing’ mind when overloaded with work and deadlines’

 

‘Mindfulness helped me alleviate stressful and unhelpful thoughts so I can work more effectively and function better’.
