get on you tube with jon kabat zinn,he is the dude to admire:D;)

Ohhh yes he's great! And very handsome too! I think he was the 'founder' of mindfulness as it is applied to Western societies. He's great. Off to watch some of his vids now...

(Love your tagline btw Candygirl. Makes me chuckle every time!)

The blog sounds like a good idea

Just to add a few extra links that they recommended at Sharpham, in addition to the ones I posted much earlier in the thread (& in addition to those above)

That's so exciting! I'll definitely be going to that. I'm from Glasgow anyway so at least I know my way around. It'd be great if you guys could come too!x

That's funny, I used to own that book too. I read it and didn't find it very useful, but I see it has since been reprinted and has some very good reviews on Amazon so might give it another go. I can't wait for JKZ's visit to Glasgow, just a bit apprehensive about the price. Thank you Racheldevon for posting the links, and to candygirl for finding the calendar for 2012.

Not yet I'm afraid. I will try to find out ASAP. I'm guessing it might be expensive, based on the fees for courses in the USA. I think probably £200 for two days. :eek:
