Parts 1-4 take an 8-week term each with a break for school holidays in between.

There’s no obligation to complete more than one Part but, whilst benefits will take place at every stage, experiencing the whole cycle is like a ‘complete renovation’ for the mind whilst doing Part 1 on its own is like ‘doing up one room’ in comparison!

A session runs for 45-90 minutes, depending on the number of participants.

Experiences from the prior week’s exercise are shared, any theory discussed, then the exercise runs for 15-20 minutes.
