Mindfulness course

A very good course, well organised and co-ordinated by Beate. Thanks a lot for her dedication, kindness, clarity and openness.

Without your coaching I wouldn't have the tools to explore and treat my problems. The antidotes you laid out in the pillar connection, examples like rehearsing, using I instead of you to start a conversation has helped enormously. I feel by doing just that, there is a U-turn in my life. Thanks to you and also thanks to me!

Excellent course and excellent teacher, all my expectations were fulfilled.

I was very happy with the course and felt I was in very capable hands for my first course in meditation. I appreciated having an intensive course for practical reasons but would maybe like to also follow the more traditional 8 week one to have more time for exercising between sessions.

I really enjoyed the mindfulness course! I can recommend it to anyone interested in mindfulness. The course is very well structured and lead in a very pleasant but at the same time professional way. I did the course with Beate and I really liked her style! If you are curious or interested, go for it… And Enjoy !

I m a fan ? I discovered Brussels Mindfulness back in 2018 when followed an intense version of the 8 week mindfulness course with Steve . And now I followed an online course on Fear and Uncertainty, again with Steve. I really liked the course as it was based not only on mindfulness practices but also psychology. Steve is a very knowledgeable trainer !! it was also so easy to follow the course online. I didn't have to travel anywhere ? and the effect was as from a real life course .

Thank you very much Beate; for a wonderful course. A wonderful simple and useful tool that has definitively helped me to look at life in a different more positive way.

High quality teachers and extraordinary communication and pedagogical tools (handbook, to-the-point emails, languages, knowledge..). Extraordinary mindfulness course which should be a must for everyone .... impossible not to like it! Mindfulness attitudes so much needed in hectic times.... and delicious raisins (you will find out why)!

Thank you Beate for this excellent initiative! This first free meditation session came in very timely and will surely help us all cope in these times of stress and fear. I must say I feel much better prepared to start my day now, after this nice cocktail of meditation practices, with a positive mindset! Have a good day yourself and keep up the good work!

I greatly enjoyed the course and took away a lot of insights. The course helped me develop new perspectives and techniques to deal with everyday challenges of life and stress. Lorinda is a great teacher and I can fully recommend the course.

I’m so happy and fulfilled (with work ongoing / more progress to be made still, of course!) to have found & attended it. The practice has brought a measurable change for the better in my life, I very much feel, and has helped me enormously in dealing with anxiety, stress and (post-) burnout.

If everybody would follow Mindfulness courses, the world would be a much better place!

I was one of the first students of the Brussels Mindfulness and the course came at the exact time for me. I was overwhelmed and stressed. The course helped me immensely by giving me the tools to focus on what is really important for me. I had been struggling with meditation for years without success. Brussels Mindfulness taught me easy and effective ways to get into meditation and to get immediate benefits from short practices: as short as a minute a day! Over the years, I have also joined retreats, like silence days, which allowed me to understand better how my mind and body work. At whatever level of your journey you are, the courses and retreats will help you along the way.

First and foremost, thank you so much for offering a safe haven in the form of mindfulness. It revives. It revitalizes. It breathes new life into our relentless heart, soul and brain.

I was very happy to have offered myself this course as I learned so much about mindfulness and how it impacts my life in general. Alena is an excellent trainer and shares very efficiently what she knows and she has such a desire to do so. The course was extremely well organized and Alena was very sensitive to the participants needs. Well done Brussels Mindfulness for your continued and future support and I hope to remain a member of your community.

The 8-week programme was a real eye opener. I loved the coach as well as the group. Everything was done in an atmosphere of compassion and understanding. I feel like now I have this big toolbox that I can keep developing and digging into whenever I face difficult or stressful situations.

I was practicing mindfulness meditation by myself using YouTube videos and apps, but I lacked a deep understanding of its principles and aims as well as regularity. The course has given me the tools and motivation to make it part of my daily practice. Since then I have benefited from greater focus, peacefulness and better sleep. I have learnt what my limits are and to listen to them. After this positive experience I also participated in a mindfulness retreat in beautiful Pajottenland: after the two days I was completely relaxed and even more motivated in keeping the practice. Absolutely recommended.

Specifically and on top of the daily practice, I loved the scientific foundations of the course, and the rational(ist) approach at its core. Very solid stuff, with leads & links to additional reading which I have found both fascinating and practically applicable in my psychological & emotive pursuits. I would recommend it very highly indeed!

Great professional team to learn and evolve on my mindfulness path !

Thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to Mindfulness. Great trainer, location and group of like-minded people. Will definitely be returning for a refresher in the near future!

I had been reading books about mindfulness and experimenting with apps and downloads but I could never really bring myself to actually applying it. After doing this course, I have a much better understanding of what mindfulness is, and I finally integrated it into my daily life. I feel much more relaxed and better able to cope with the stress of combining my job with young children.
