I am amazed at the way it enables me to change negative patterns.
"I had tried several times over a period of twenty years to learn meditation and never really ‘got it’. Then I met Rob and he made the process so easy that I’m sure anyone could use this method to learn to meditate successfully. Rob is so genuine in his teaching and it so nice to see how passionate he is about sharing what he’s learned. The practice has made a profound difference to my life; I am amazed at the way it enables me to change negative patterns."
I felt peace, calm and joy within myself, and what is more — love for myself.
"I really enjoyed the mindfulness sessions at the Life Raft very much. Rob is a perfect teacher with a very soothing and relaxing voice, great ideas expressed in a simple quiet but very powerful manner. After each session I felt peace, calm and joy within myself, and what is more — love for myself. I am very-very grateful to Rob for this and for helping me to deal with anxiety."
I am now finding it much easier to stay relaxed and not become stressed.
"I was very stressed before the course. I worried a lot and was unable to relax. I felt responsible for the happiness of my whole family. I am now finding it much easier to stay relaxed and not become stressed. I am able to stay calm in stressful situations and to focus on NOW rather than worrying my life away. I am enjoying life again."
Self-Compassion for Increased Resilience, Confidence and Wellbeing
The Self-Compassion for Educators program equips participants with strategies to manage stress, improve self-image and experience a deep sense of connection and inner strength. By fostering an attitude of kindness and understanding towards oneself, teachers can navigate the pressures of their job more effectively, reduce the risk of burnout and enhance their overall well-being and happiness.
How it works
The Self-Compassion for Educators pilot program is a Live-Via-Zoom, 6-week program. Recordings will be provided for all sessions but live attendance will be required on at least 4 of the sessions. You'll gain lifetime access to all materials ensuring that you can visit the training whenever you need a refresher.
At the end of the pilot you'll be asked to provide feedback on any changes you experience in your teaching and your life as a result of the training.
The program commences Tuesday May 14th.
Each week's tution will consist of 1 x 60-minute live Zoom session followed by mini-refreshers and reminders delivered by email to encourage 20-30 minute minute daily practice. There will be a break of 1 week during half term.
The weekly live session will be recorded for those who can't make the call and offered live TWICE each week to accommodate time zones and lifestyle preferences:
6:00am UK time
8:30pm UK time
