Mindfulness Based Calm Living

(M.B.C.L)

What is M.B.C.L?

  • ✺

    M.B.C.L is a way of living where we are not overwhelmed by the pressures of life but do not feel the need to escape them.

  • ✺

    By learning techniques to better cope with what life throws at us we are able to maintain an inner balance which enables us to deal with both the everyday pressures as well as the larger and unexpected ones which come our way.

  • ✺

    Many people start the practice of MBCL when they feel the increase in pressure or realise that they are completely overwhelmed.

  • ✺

    To have these practices in place before we get to that point is helpful not only in often preventing us getting to a point of overwhelm, but also to know how to deal with the pressures which we inevitably go through in life when they come, so it is helpful to be taught them in calmer times.

Why use Waymark Ministries for these sessions?

David Cassian has been personally practising mindfulness meditation for over 20 years, and has been teaching it in groups, classes and on a 1:1 basis for around 15 years. Taking elements of John Kabat Zinn's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) courses, Brink & Koster's Mindfulness Based Compassionate Living course, and Neff's psychology of Self Compassion, David Cassian has created this unique form of mindfulness based calm living for everyday life. 

As far as we are aware, no one else in the UK is currently offering this service. So at this time, if you would like to learn to use M.B.C.L as a way to cope with, or prevent stress, then Waymark Ministries is your best (and only!) option.

Waymark Ministries offers M.B.C.L sessions to both small groups (of up to 6 people) and individuals, either in person or via Zoom, making these sessions accessible for most.

Sessions usually take around 1 hour and are charged at £40 per person for individual bookings, £45 for couples booking in together, and £15 per person for groups of between three and six people.

Due to the kind donations from supporters of Waymark Ministries, we feel very blessed to be able to offer reduced rates for individuals receiving benefits.
