Rooted - A Three Session Introduction to Mindfulness
Rooted is an evidence-based, nature-infused introduction to mindfulness, grounded in Oxford Mindfulness research and my own Masters-level study and teaching experience.
It offers a gentle, practical taste of mindful living, helping you connect with your senses, calm the mind, and cultivate wellbeing for yourself and the world around you.
Across three weekly one-hour sessions, we explore core mindfulness practices and themes to help reduce stress, ease anxiety, and bring more clarity, ease, and enjoyment to everyday life and work. The course can be delivered live on Zoom, in person, in a group, or one-to-one, with a focus on connecting with the natural world to support grounded presence.
​
You’ll also be invited to try a short daily practice of 10–15 minutes to reinforce your learning, with all course resources provided.
Read on to learn more or contact me for a no-obligation conversation to explore how mindfulness could support your wellbeing, resilience, and connection to life around you.
What to Expect from the Course
What are the benefits?
Even though this course involves only three sessions, you may begin to notice some of the following benefits relatively quickly:
​
-
A greater sense of space and ease in your day
-
Increased appreciation for the simple, enjoyable moments in life
-
New ways to resource yourself in challenging moments such as distraction, stress, or anxiety
-
A growing ability to respond with clarity and compassion in ways that align with what matters most to you​
​
​
​
What to expect during the 3 session course?
-
Week 1 – Training the mind
Understanding the mind’s natural tendency to wander—like a lively puppy—and learning practical ways to gently guide attention back to the present moment. -
Week 2 – Awakening to our senses
Exploring our innate sensory nature, noticing how tuning into our senses can anchor us, support wellbeing, and enhance mindful awareness. -
Week 3 – Responding rather than reacting
Recognising our instinctive, “inner animal” reactivity and practicing tools to pause, create space, and choose mindful, skillful responses in everyday life.
What is the commitment between sessions?
​
Each session builds on learning and experience from the previous session and you will be invited to continue to practise the sessions’ themes between sessions.
​
Like any new skill, the real learning and understanding happens through regular practice.
​
You will be given around 10 -15 minutes of ‘home practice’ each day‘ which will usually include following a short recording of a guided practice as well as building ‘informal’ mindfulness practice into your everyday activities.
​
We will share our experiences of home practice together in each weekly session.

Here's What a Recent Participant Had to Say
I always thought that I was ok, yes certain things would make me feel out of control, by that I mean giving me a nervous tummy or the feeling of a cat on a hot tin roof. The Introducing Mindfulness course has changed my life. Ok, I still have those feelings but I now have learnt, with the help of mindfulness, how to get those feelings under control. Mindfulness works for me and I feel so much better for it.
