Mindfulness Workshop for Adults and Children - August


Recommended Posts

Hello East Dulwich,


Waves are announcing its Summer Mindfulness Workshops running this August at All Saints Church, West Dulwich.

Mindfulness is a secular practice that combines meditation and cognitive therapy to help participants reduce feelings of stress,anxiety and depression. It has also shown to help manage various medical conditions such as chronic pain and MS,MND Cancer. Mindfulness is also a great tool for everyday life to help your physical and mental well-being.

We also offer fun interactive children's workshops to teach children about their emotions, reactions and impulses. Children's Mindfulness has shown to improve children's focus and attention, decrease anxiety and worries, and improve sleep patterns, as well as helping them develop emotional maturity.


Waves coaches are all fully trained and use the latest techniques.

Hi John,


yes some studies have suggested that it can help manage Cancer (please note not cure!) This means that it can help a patient cope with the pain, and stress associated with the disease - which in turn can have a physical benefit. Studies also showed that meditation can grow back telomeres on our genes which shrink with old age and illness.

here's a few articles which you may find useful.

Hi John,


try this link - at the bottom it gives a summary of trials and results

http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/treatment/complementary-alternative/therapies/meditation


I read the link that you put up - but it doesn't mention mindfulness, just homoeopathic pills- which I'm sure you appreciate is nothing to do with my services.


What I did find interesting was the reference to the ''placebo effect'' - the power of the mind can bring about physical and mental well-being.

Please do not think that I'am advocating Mindfulness over traditional medicine - I'm advocating the practice in conjunction with traditional medicine to best serve the client.

There is also a fabulous documentary called 'The Connect' which shows lots of leading U.S. medical DR's and professors running clinical trials on the effectiveness Mindfulness with positive results.

    • We went there yesterday for lunch, which was really delicious and excellent value. A starter plus a main is £11.95 for their "lunchtime special". Just a main is £8.95. We had excellent gyozas to start, then I had pad thai and my partner had a stir fry, both with tofu. They were large helpings,  freshly cooked, with fresh veg. There is the option to have chicken or beef (prawns are £2 extra) Also they now have Thai beer (Singha) on draught or in bottles (previously it was being your own alcohol). The service was also good. We were sorry and surprised not to see more people in there, particularly as there was a match on. It is really worth the short walk from Lordship Lane!
    • Stop posting contextless YouTube links and make an argument with words. In English.     if the YouTube link backs up your argument then all well and good. But just links on their own is demented
