Hello, my name is Simone Stolton.

Welcome to The Kent Mindfulness Centre Website. 
​Here you will find details about my mindfulness courses, mindfulness yoga, retreats & workshops.
 
I have a passion for teaching what I have learnt  - that we can all  learn to be more present for our lives, for both the highs and the lows. That we can respond with kindness to our challenges and those of others,  - and come to see deeply into the nature of our habitual patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

With the practice of mindfulness & yoga we have powerful tools for liberating ourselves and reaching our full human potential.

 “The bud stands for all things,
​    even for those things that don’t flower,
    for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing:
    though sometimes it is necessary,
​    to reteach a thing its loveliness ,
    to put a hand on its brow
    of the flower
   and retell it in words and in touch
   it is lovely -
  until it flowers again from within,
  of self-blessing.”  
Saint Francis & the Sow

What is Mindfulness? 

Mindfulness is an innate capacity of the mind to be aware of the present moment in a non-judgemental and compassionate way. It can be developed through training and promotes a way of being that helps us take better care of ourselves and others, and lead healthier lives.  By practising it the mind learns to be less distracted, calmer and gain more clarity. With its practical application in daily life it is particularly relevant to our time and its teachings remain as fresh as ever.
“Mindfulness  provides a simple but powerful route for getting ourselves unstuck, back into touch with our own wisdom and vitality. It is a way to take charge of the direction and quality of our own lives” Jon Kabat Zinn
