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.

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
