November Mindfulness 2025

20 Nov 2025 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Following on from our last successful mindfulness session in August we are delighted to announce our final free session for 2025 to all our members.

The topic for this session is “Calm Conversations”.  Challenging conversations with colleagues, tenants, or partners can be part of the job - but they don’t have to take a toll.  When conversations run hot, staying calm and clear is definitely a skill, and one that can be easily learned.  In this practical session, mindfulness teacher Martin Stepek, one of Scotland’s foremost teachers of mindfulness, will join us on Thursday 20 November at 10am for one hour to share practical, easy-to-use techniques to help you de-escalate tense situations, set fair and respectful boundaries, and safeguard your own wellbeing in the process.  You’ll learn how to communicate with confidence even under pressure, as well as quick mental resets that stop difficult exchanges from lingering with you for the rest of your day, leaving you free to refocus and move forward with confidence.  Join us to strengthen your ability to stay calm and clear, helping you build trust, reduce stress, and create more positive outcomes for you and your organisation.

This session is free for members to attend however we require all delegates to pre book their place.  Please note that bookings which are withdrawn without a substitution 48 hours before the event will be charged a £20 administration fee (this will be donated to CHAS) as will those who do not attend.  We will accept substitutions at any time.
