Course outline

What is the course about?

For participants who are interested in exploring if there is a way of living in this fast chaotic world without experiencing stress. It will uptap the huge potential and power of the mind and how they can create thoughts to experience new ways of being.

What topics will we cover?

Dispelling the illusionary causes of stress
Understanding the impact of stress on our body, mind and relationships
Being alert to the initial tell-tale signs of stress
How to support yourself through the times of over-activity without feeling stressed
Understanding the message lying deep within the experience of stress.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

Understand how thinking patterns are integral to how we feel about ourselves, others and situations
Explore a deeper level of self-awareness and begin to use the mind in a more beneficial way
Create and sustain positive feelings and attitudes about yourself anywhere, anytime
Use simple methods to help sustain greater confidence in challenging situations.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

No previous knowledge is required, however you need to be willing to participate in individual reflection and exercises, group discussions and activity. You will need a fluent level of written and spoken English.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

This course will include personal reflection, using different models to empower, individual and group mind exercises as well as the input and experience of the tutor. In order to gain maximum benefit from this course it would be beneficial to read the handout after the course.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

No other costs but please bring a notebook and pen with you.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made. Throughout the day you might experience insights into the message of your bouts of stress. Also you may experience an increased understanding of the working of your own mind and the ability to use different states of awareness as a tool for personal development. However the long-term results will not necessarily show until situations arise in your life and you see a difference in how you respond.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?

You may be interested in: education and careers advice; financial and childcare support; disability support; support for Deaf and hearing-impaired students; dyslexia support; English and maths support; counselling, and library services (supported learning centre).
