Enhancing Happiness, Resilience, Creativity and Well-Being
Mindfulness is a way of experiencing the world. Even a taster session will give your team the experience of bringing mindfulness into their life.
They’ll walk away with a direct, personal experience of mindfulness – a way of experiencing the world that is 100% scientifically proven to hold a myriad of benefits for them and the people around them, both at work and at home.
We can help you turn your organisation into a mindful organisation – that’s just the same as it is now, but better. You lose nothing and gain a happier, more resilient and more creative team of people.
We regularly deliver training online as well as in person!

We can offer you:
A Taste
Many organisations book a taster session, as a way of getting to know us. Set aside half a day, or even just an hour, for your team to practice for themselves and experience the benefits.
Read More We give our all in taster sessions, offering what, for some people, is a whole new way of approaching difficult situations. We’ll provide you with materials to prepare people, beforehand, for what to expect, as well as a whole raft of follow-up information, including YouTube links and book recommendations for those interested to develop their practice. How much ground we cover depends on how much time you’ve got. Give us a call to discuss the ins and outs!
A Firm Foundation
We have a range of workshops, seminars and courses available. These can be accessed in any combination, to meet your needs and work within your budget.

The University of Liverpool
When I was looking for a tutor to help deliver postgraduate teaching on mindfulness based approaches I turned to Dave. As a co-tutor he was excellent to work with, thorough, reliable, extremely knowledgeable and committed to providing a powerful learning experience for students. Dave embodies mindfulness, but brings a sense of joy and enthusiasm to the subject that cuts through the academic content that we also have to deliver. The student feedback from our teaching was overwhelmingly positive, describing it as ‘passionate’, ‘engaging’, ‘excellent’, and many students said how valuable it was to learn through experiencing mindfulness. I have hugely enjoyed teaching with Dave, he is a pleasure to work with, and inspiring in his commitment, openness and flexibility.

Plus Dane Housing
Mindfulness Liverpool ran a six-session course for myself and colleagues. The sessions have been invaluable. They helped me personally to create inner calm around all the chaos and stresses of work – I can all-too easily get lost in the pressures of work and the demands it places on senior executives so it was fantastic to re-align my thinking and cultivate peace of mind.
After each session I felt refreshed, ‘reset’, less anxious and more connected with my body and breathing. The weekly sessions brought a level of mindfulness that continued well beyond the session and into the week. The sessions definitely improved my ability to be more effective as a leader and shifted my thinking from reacting to responding. I would definitely recommend Mindfulness Liverpool.

Dave delivered a session – An Introduction to Mindfulness- within my workplace yesterday and both myself and my colleagues were blown away at just how calm and relaxed we could feel within an hour. The session was both informative and experiential and enabled us to understand Mindfulness practice and engage in many different aspects. Interest for the session was so great that we have asked Dave to return for a follow up session. Thank you so much for bringing peace and calmness to what is generally quite a high pressure environment’
Comments from the group ‘enlightening’, ‘breathtaking’, ‘a few moments just for me’, ‘wonderful’
