Overcoming Stress and Burnout
Are you constantly tired or lacking energy? Looking for a new way to manage it all?
You’re not alone. Many of us struggle to find balance between the demands of work and personal life. You might feel hopeless or overwhelmed and find it difficult to concentrate. Our popular mindfulness course will help you manage stress, prevent burnout, and build lasting emotional resilience.
From Surviving to Thriving
It’s essential to recognize when you are in overwhelm mode. With the right tools, you can develop mental resources to cope with challenges, restore your energy, and regain control over your life. This course teaches mindfulness practices for better stress management and emotional balance so that you can flourish in your life.
Increasing Resilience and Wellbeing
Imagine waking up in the morning feeling confident that you can handle whatever the day brings. While stress and anxiety may still appear, they won’t dominate your life. You’ll feel calmer, more focused, and better able to enjoy life’s good moments. This course is designed to bring a lasting shift toward inner peace and emotional well-being.
How Mindfulness Can Help
This 8-week mindfulness group course is not a quick fix, but a structured mental strength training program. You’ll learn new mental habits and coping strategies to deal more skillfully with life’s challenges.

What participants of previous courses said
"The 8-week course was a real eye opener. I loved the coach as well as the group. Everything was done in an atmosphere of compassion and understanding. I feel like now I have this big toolbox that I can keep developing and digging into when I face stressful situations."
"I highly recommend Brussels Mindfulness! The teachers and approach were the right balance of providing a conceptual understanding, hands-on practice, personal and peer reflections and dialogue to understand and integrate what we learnt into who we are and what we do. The impact has been immediate and keeps on going - it is an investment that positively affects the foundations of self and holistic wellbeing!".
"I am now meditating every day! I found the course a good balance of theory, practical and sharing vs actually meditating."
"High quality teachers and extraordinary communication and pedagogical tools (handbook, to-the-point emails, languages, knowledge..). Extraordinary mindfulness course which should be a must for everyone .... impossible not to like it! Mindfulness attitudes so much needed in hectic times.... and delicious raisins (you will find out why)!"

Health & Well-being Guidelines - In-person
While meditation and well-being courses, workshops and other in-person events can be very nourishing; they can demand some stability of psychological health and can be triggering for some people.
Have you experienced significant trauma or psychiatric illness, or are your currently struggling with your mental health such as with anxiety, depression, or burnout? If so, it's important for you and the mindfulness trainer to discuss your specific situation as they might not be able to give you the kind of individual psychological care and support you need right now.
If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional, please discuss your attendance with them. You should be in a relatively stable period of mental well-being and have adequate psychological resilience.
Please fill in the questions in the registration form as open and honestly as possible to give us an idea of your current situation. The teacher of the event may reach out to you for more information.
We also ask that if you are feeling ill to consider not attending the class, for the health and safety of the trainer and others in the group. Listening to your body and taking rest can also be an important act of self-care.
If you are unsure, or have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly at info@brusselsmindfulness.be.
