MANAGING PAIN WITH MINDFULNESS

Alison Bale

Ongoing pain affects over one-third of UK adults. Pain is the body’s alarm system, designed to protect us but sometimes that alarm goes wrong.

Join Alison Bale BSc for an introduction into the science of pain, and learn practical tools to help “reset” your body’s alarm system. Discover what mindfulness is, and how the way we think impacts what we feel. Learn simple ways to use mindfulness in daily life to reduce pain, build confidence, and boost energy. Suitable for anyone, no experience necessary.

Each session will include 1hr tutor-led time followed by 30 minutes for tea, coffee and chat. This is a Quality Mark course from our awarding body AIM Qualifications.

COURSE COST: £5 (supported) £10 (standard) £20 (sponsored)

*The Isbourne offers tiered pricing with the aim of being inclusive and accessible for the local community.

As a wellbeing and educational charity, The Isbourne aims to make its courses and workshops accessible to all regardless of income. We have researched how other organisations fund their courses and come up with a three tier pricing system:

Supported rate: this fee is less than the Standard and allows anyone with financial challenges to still participate. You do not have to show proof, this is offered on trust. This price is limited to one per transaction.

Standard rate: this is how much we would like all participants to pay as it covers The Isbourne costs and supports the tutor.
Sponsor rate: this is a little more than the Standard fee and allows you to subsidise and support others who might not be able to pay the Standard fee.

You choose what tier of payment best suits you - no questions asked!
