This Zenways course is purely meditation and mindfulness based, with no admixtures of psychotherapy. The orientation is teacher-student rather than therapist-client. Although these practices are being used in the NHS and other healthcare settings, we take a much wider view of wellbeing, believing that it’s more than simply alleviating psychological distress or stress reduction.
