Managing Stress With Mindfulness
With Derek HillOver the next 5 days, you'll discover the 'meaning' of Mindfulness and the many powerful ways it can help you manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm. You'll encounter some of the myths of Mindfulness and walk away with greater clarity and meaning. Bringing practical applications of 'Mindfulness' directly into your life. You'll learn how the anchors of the breath and body can be a powerful support to help you effectively manage stress, anxiety and overwhelm. And how learning to respond not react to our 'busy mind' can be a gateway to greater focus and understanding in meditation practice. Together we'll explore how our prehistoric evolved stress response, is at the root of much of our stress. And by connecting more deeply with self-compassion, we'll come to find new ways to self-support in times of need, relate to the struggles we all share in common and find lifelong sustainable ways to build happiness. This course is ideal: If you want to learn about Mindfulness and the practical tools to support you. If you want to learn more about stress and and how you to mindfully reduce the symptoms. If you want a new perspective, inspiration or mindful nudge in the direction of wellbeing and happiness. It will be a place you can turn to again and again, to mange your stress mindfully. It will be a place you can turn to right now, on Day 1. I hope to meet you there.

Meet your Teacher
Derek Hill believes in creating opportunities for genuine connection, with ourselves, nature, and each other. Supporting people to look inwardly, with self-compassion - helping them uncover their inner resources for self-support and purposeful direction in life. He is a mindfulness and compassion teacher, speaker, and coach, accredited by Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). He teaches 4 to 8-week Mindfulness and Stress Management courses, and is trained to teach Jon Kabat-Zinn's gold standard "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction." He works with individuals, groups, and organisations to inspire greater happiness, health, and human connection. Derek's course ‘Waves of Wellbeing and Resilience’ was drawn from both teaching qualifications, as well his own personal life and professional experiences. He has coached and mentored people for 20 years in high-stress corporate environments, as well as purpose-driven ‘technology for good’ organisations like JustGiving and Farewill, where he spent many wonderful years working with not-for-profit organisations. Derek is sincerely committed to helping others realise their potential, creativity, and fundamental connection to self, others, and the universe. Derek moved to London from his hometown in Dublin. His early life in Ireland coloured so much of what he has learned throughout life. Having graduated in creative writing, he always found great inspiration in the books of others, whether fictional, philosophical, or those challenging conventions. Throughout his professional career, where he enjoyed the highs and lows of working abroad, growing businesses, and making a purposeful impact, there was always a pull towards the traditions and philosophies, which inspire his work today. A few life-changing events and an ever-growing personal commitment to meditation practice, finally nudged him to retrain as a mindfulness and compassion teacher, picking up a CPCAB accredited Level 4 qualification, as well as training to teach Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Derek then redesigned his life around a passion and purpose, so he could sustainably support his health and well-being and that of his family. He founded his company Waking Waves to make this possible and is now on his own mindful mission to share the benefits of mindfulness and compassion with others, so they can too!
