Study day Mindful Eating

Mindful Eating - Conscious Living is an eight-week mindfulness programme, in which you will learn how to be less anxious and more at ease around food and eating.

Through practicing paying attention to the present moment, without judgement, we can cultivate the capacity to tune into the physical experience of eating and how it relates to our moods and emotions.  In time, we can regain our natural freedom around food and eating.

This programme is being offered as part of a programme of research in collaboration with UWE Bristol's Centre for Appearance Research. This means that, in addition to taking part in the class, there will be some questionnaires to fill out before, during and after the programme.
