Regular staff Mindfulness drop-ins

Occupational Health will be providing monthly online Mindfulness drop-ins for staff once a month from October to July this academic year. Sessions will take place on Teams from 8am to 8.50am on the second Thursday of each month (first Thursday in April).

Who will run the sessions?

These drop-in meditation and discussion sessions will be led by Lorraine Millard, an experienced psychotherapist and registered Mindfulness instructor who has spent many years working as a counsellor at the University. Lorraine has run Mindfulness sessions for staff on and off over the years, and you may have come across promotion of her regular Mindfulness sessions for students.

What will the sessions involve?

The sessions will involve an introduction to Mindfulness practice and theory, followed by a guided meditation (think Headspace in a group setting!) and an opportunity to discuss any observations and concerns which might arise from this. This will be a great way to learn more about Mindfulness and how to incorporate it into the working day, as well as a chance to connect with likeminded staff from across the University.

How do I join?

To receive a Teams invitation, please email Mindfulness@kent.ac.uk, specifying that you are a staff member.
