No talking required - this morning session gives members an opportunity to pause before the start of the working day and to directly experience two practical techniques from the University of Oxford’s researched mindfulness techniques. We’ll experience a simple grounding practice and a body scan to notice more clearly our physical sensations, thoughts and feelings in the present moment. These are short accessible practices that can be integrated into daily life.

Mindfulness is often viewed as an unrealistic clearing of the mind, aiming for a state of calm. However, these are realistic, practical techniques that do not require a ‘quiet mind’ or any prior experience. As many of you are aware, mindfulness is a natural capacity that we all have that, when nurtured, has the potential not only to support us with the ups and downs of daily life, but to support us to flourish in the midst of it all.

Based in central London, Sonia teaches mindfulness skills globally online to climate leaders. Her community teaching includes weekly support to Mind mental health charity. Sonia also works with Daughters for Earth, a US-based philanthropic fund. Before teaching mindfulness, Sonia spent 14 years training professionals and led Professional Development at a global law firm in London, formerly practising as a corporate lawyer in London and New York.

Persevilience, a newly coined term by Alastair Campbell himself, is the ability of an individual, group, or organisation to turn any setback, challenge, or experience into a positive opportunity to grow, advance, and protect core interests.

Combining the concepts of perseverance and resilience, it embodies a philosophical shift toward a more proactive, positive mindset built on belief and integrity rather than just endurance.
