St Annes and Keble College Nurse has asked the OMC to provide a mindfulness course in Michaelmas, which has been offered all colleges via college nurses. This course will also be the first 8-week course delivered using Mark Williams' new book, co-authored with Dr Danny Penman, "Mindfulness: a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world". Chris Cullen, who is behind the Mindfulness in Schools Project will teach this class with Mark Leonard from the OMC.

The OMC is also putting on a series of masterclasses. John Peacocke is going to lead the first of these one-day workshops on Buddhist Psychology for MBCT Teachers.
