Introduction to Mindfulness for Busy People Facilitated by Marc de Bruin

Course Overview

This practical and interactive face-to-face only workshop introduces participants to the principles and practices of mindfulness in a down-to-earth, accessible way. It is designed to help individuals and teams build resilience, manage stress, and improve focus—both personally and professionally.

Participants will explore what mindfulness is (and isn’t), how it impacts brain function, and how it can be applied to everyday challenges. Through a blend of experiential exercises, neuroscience insights, and real-life applications, this program empowers people to better navigate stress, improve emotional regulation, and stay present in high-pressure situations.

Managing Reactivity and Stress: Learn how to map stress triggers, understand the stress-performance curve, and create personalised mindfulness plans to boost emotional agility.
Self-Compassion and Letting Go: Explore principles like non-judgement, detachment, and loving-kindness to increase self-acceptance and compassion—cornerstones of sustainable wellbeing.
Practical Everyday Integration: Discover simple, realistic ways to build mindfulness into everyday routines—no yoga mats or hour-long meditations required.
