Free 5-week mindfulness workshops for over 55s

We're pleased to be offering free 5 week online mindfulness course for Barnet residents over 55 run by stress coach Kamontip Evans.

Mindfulness practice can help you deal better with what life throws at you, giving you the techniques to cope with stress and anxiety. It has also been shown to ease physical pain, improve immunity and enhance memory function!

It can enhance your sleep too! After a past session, for instance, one participant told us she'd 'had the best night's sleep in ages!'
