MINDFUL MENTORING IN MAY
TEDx speaker and Mindfulness Works facilitator, Annie Harvey, is offering all Mindfulness Works customers a special free gift in May.
As a mindful mentor and coach, Annie works individually with clients (via Zoom). She finds that during the Intro course, as attendees become more self-aware, they realise they have more choices in life. As a qualified life coach, Annie then works with some attendees as private clients, supporting them to work through their choices and develop a plan of action to move forward in a particular area of life where perhaps they are stuck.
In May, Annie is offering all Mindfulness Works customers a free 30min discovery call where they will learn a couple of short and new mindfulness practices, complete an activity to understand their values and then set one short-term goal.

MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION
8 WEEKS OF BEFRIENDING OURSELVES
Wooloowin
May – July
Self-compassion, simply put, means being a friend to yourself.
Most of us are incredibly kind towards others, but tend to be a lot more critical, judgemental and unforgiving towards ourselves.
The Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) programme is a way to learn how to motivate yourself and build your inner resources with mindfulness, kindness and compassion.
This warm-hearted, open-minded course allows us insight into our emotional discomfort, together with the resources to help maintain balance, build resilience, improve relationships and decrease our suffering.
- how to give yourself permission to stop, slow down and savour the moment
- how to stop being so hard on yourself
- how to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism
- how to handle difficult emotions with greater ease
- how to transform difficult relationships, both old and new
- mindfulness and self-compassion practices for home and everyday life
- the theory and research behind mindful self-compassion
- how to become your own best friend and ally
Expect lots of practice time, juicy discussions and opportunities to share the joys and sorrows of being human with like-minded people.
MSC is a practical, evidence-based program, transforming our relationship to our thoughts and emotions and offering you a way to tolerate and tackle the challenges of a busy world.
It’s great value, costing less than $20 per hour and includes free guided audio and workbook.

Welcome to Reality Based Mindfulness (RBM). We are dedicated to providing mindfulness training in a range of contexts. Operating outdoors in parks throughout Melbourne we strive to enable you to apply mindfulness techniques to your daily life. With our wide range of mindful therapy services, we can help you improve your general wellbeing, focus and productivity.
The RBM Approach: You might be wondering, like many of our students, how the teaching of mindfulness techniques can be applied to everyday life. The RBM approach focuses on real world situations, not just traditional meditation. Through our outdoor meditation sessions in local parts, we target real world situations as opposed to controlled environments. While a more challenging environment, this will make it easier to integrate the practice into daily life. Much like a sports coach trains an athlete in sports specific exercises, we train mindfulness for the real world.

Venue: Elk Wellbeing, 282A Queens Parade, Fitzroy
