A brief overview of how we came to teach mindfulness. Here is the book we use. It's a great book if you are interested in mindfulness. Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams and Danny Penman.

There are a couple of reasons…in the Celtic tradition Kevin (yes, even around 500CE Kevin was a popular name!) stands with his arms outstretched praying and as he does a blackbird makes a nest in his arms. He doesn’t move until the eggs have hatched and the birds flown away. The importance of stillness and Mindfulness is at the heart of what we do.

The other reason is the Beatles’ song, Blackbird which captures another part of our hopes…
‘…take these broken wings and learn to fly…’ The project is constantly evolving. It is based in the Huddersfield area and Tim shares his mindfulness work with a number of different groups. |
