Introducing mindfulness
Live online, just 1 hour a week — a gentle introduction to mindfulness for women who have been carrying too much.
Press pause, breathe, and rediscover a little steadiness
If you have been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or as though you are simply getting through the day, this course is for you.
You might be here because:
-
you have been carrying a lot for a long time
-
meditation apps have not quite worked for you
-
you are curious about mindfulness, but also a little sceptical
-
you want a kinder, more practical way to pause and meet life
This 3-week Introducing Mindfulness course offers a safe, kind, practical space to begin. Based on the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation curriculum and taught live by Pili, it gives you simple ways to pause, breathe, and respond to life with a little more steadiness and self-kindness.
No pressure. No need to be “good” at meditation. No huge commitment.
Just one hour a week, online, from wherever you are — with short, gentle practices you can bring into real life.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment with curiosity and kindness.
It helps us notice what is happening in the mind, the body, and around us — so we can respond with more clarity instead of reacting automatically or pushing through on autopilot.
This course is based on a curriculum created by the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, and I am trained to teach it. Over the three weeks, you’ll learn simple, evidence-based ways to bring mindfulness into daily life in a way that feels supportive, manageable, and kind.
What mindfulness may support
Mindfulness is not a quick fix, and everyone's experience is different. But with gentle, regular practice, some people begin to notice small shifts in how they relate to everyday life.
You may find yourself exploring:
-
Pausing before reacting in stressful conversations — at home, at work, or with loved ones
-
Noticing when you are running on autopilot
-
Becoming more aware of what is happening in your body, mind, and emotions
-
Meeting self-critical thoughts with a little more kindness
-
Noticing small moments of steadiness, appreciation, or ease
-
Responding to challenges with a little more space and choice
👩🏻🏫 Who's your teacher?
I’m Pili, a mindfulness teacher and coach. I first discovered mindfulness during my stressful banking days, when I was working long hours, constantly under pressure, and everything seemed to be needed "today" — as if every deadline was life-or-death.
Taking an 8-week mindfulness course back then was life-changing — but it was also challenging to fit into an already full life.
That’s why I love offering this shorter format. It’s convenient, kind, and realistic. You don’t need to travel, rearrange your whole life, or be "good" at meditation. Just log in from wherever you are, and bring a little more breathing space into your week.
Your 3-week journey
Over three weeks, we’ll explore mindfulness not just as a meditation practice, but as a way of relating differently to everyday life — with more curiosity, kindness, and choice.
🔦 Week 1:
Paying attention with curiosity and care
Explore how small moments of mindful attention can help you notice what is happening in your body, mind, and daily life.
🤖 Week 2:
Learning new ways of being
Begin to recognise “autopilot” patterns and experiment with gentle pauses that support calm, kindness and awareness.
🌟 Week 3:
Responding, not reacting
Practise creating a little more space before reacting, so you can meet everyday challenges with more steadiness and choice.
What to expect
Guided
practices
Short mindfulness practices will be guided live, with options to adapt them in ways that feel supportive.
Reflection and sharing
There will be space to reflect privately, write things down, or share through the chat if you’d like to.
Support between sessions
You’ll receive a digital workbook, audios, and simple home practices.
Choice and kindness
Everything is invitational. You’re welcome to keep your eyes open, move, adapt, or pause.
👩💻 A note about cameras
This is a live course rather than a webinar, so your presence matters. You’re warmly invited to keep your camera on if you feel comfortable, as this helps create a sense of connection and shared practice. At the same time, this is a gentle space, and reflection will usually happen through the chat.
Who is this course for?
This course may be for you if you:
-
Are new to mindfulness, or returning after some time away
-
Are curious, but not ready to commit to a longer 8-week course
-
Prefer a live, supportive course rather than learning alone from an app
-
Want simple practices you can explore in everyday life
-
Would like a gentle, low-pressure way to begin
🌟 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
⚪️ Do I need previous experience? Not at all. This course is designed for complete beginners, as well as anyone who would like to gently refresh their practice.
⚪️ Is there homework? Between sessions, you’ll be invited to explore short home practices — usually around 15–20 minutes — using guided audio recordings and simple mindfulness in daily life. These are invitations, not tests.
⚪️ What if I can’t sit still? That’s okay. You don’t need to sit perfectly still. Practices can be done sitting on a chair, lying down, or standing if that feels more comfortable for your body.
⚪️ Is this a webinar? No. This is a live course, not a webinar. You’ll be guided through practices in real time and invited to reflect through the chat. You’re warmly invited to keep your camera on if you feel comfortable, as this helps create a sense of group presence, but it is completely optional.
⚪️ What if I can’t attend one week? It’s best to attend all sessions if you can, as each week builds on the previous one. But life happens. If you miss a session, you’ll still receive the workbook and guided meditation audios so you can keep practising at home.
⚪️ Is this course therapy? No. This is an educational programme designed to support well-being. It is not therapy or a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. If you are currently receiving care for a physical or psychological condition, please consult your GP or healthcare provider to check whether this course is suitable for you.
