Vitality and healthy ageing - how can mindfulness help us?

Thriving Ageing

We wish to make the world a better place by helping people and workplaces find their own ways to thrive - one breath at a time.

Read About Us

Thriving Life

To us, thriving is to feel whole and content no matter the ups and downs of life. It’s about having the knowledge and skills to take care of yourself, create balance and find meaning in what you do. A thriving life is not a life of seeking pleasure but to find a lasting sense of ease and aliveness.

Thriving Life
I am currently in the process of writing a book about how mindfulness can assist us in the difficulties we face when we age. I am therefore looking for older individuals (60+) who have had a mindfulness practice for a while and who would be interested in being interviewed by me over Zoom. I am particularly interested in people with comorbidity, chronic illness or/and pain or potentially someone who has suffered a loss and/or face loneliness. It could also be someone who is going through/has gone through a hard time adjusting from working to retired life. I would like to ask them if mindfulness has helped/is helping them and if so how. The interviewee can of course stay anonymous if so desired. Please PM me if you are interested/know someone who might be. It can be any nationality, but the interview will be in English. Thank you! Berit ...

Testimonials

““Berit was excellent. Her calm manner and professionalism won over the severest cynic (i.e. me). Her soothing voice, sense of humour and openmindedness all stood out. She persuaded me of the need to do more mindfulness. It was an inspiring, bonding and fun experience” 

Andrew

Participant at a corporate mindfulness training and teambuilding event

“I gained a lot from this MBSR programme, both professionally and personally. As you might expect, Berit has a very calming and reassuring approach to Mindfulness and is able to impart her knowledge and experience in a very positive yet compassionate way. I would strongly recommend you attend – it has the potential to change your approach to life, family and work” 

John Fairbrass

Trafalgar PD

“Berit and Tuire came to our office to introduce us to mindfulness. This moving intro inspired more than half of the participants to sign up for the eight-week MBSR course given by Berit. (…) the course was a success for our organisation. This was a good first dive into the world of mindfulness, and we are planning to continue our relationship with Thriving Life.
