MBCT-L · Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life
An eight-week journey: learning to meet stress, emotions and the ups and downs of life with mindfulness. Small groups, taught in Cantonese, in person in Hong Kong.
Join the waitlistMBCT-L comes from the University of Oxford's mindfulness research tradition. Developed from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), it is designed for everyday life and for the general public — no meditation experience needed, and it is not only for people facing emotional difficulties.
Over eight weeks, guided by a teacher, you'll build your own practice habit through mindfulness exercises, group discussion and everyday-life application. International research shows courses of this kind help reduce stress, prevent relapse of emotional difficulties, and increase life satisfaction.
Please note: the course is taught in Cantonese. If you would like an English-language option, mention it on the waitlist form — we will let you know what is possible.
Our Promises
Most mindfulness apps offer only English or Mandarin. The mind settles most easily in the language it knows best — so all our guidance and classes are in Cantonese.
The course follows the MBCT-L curriculum — rooted in Oxford's mindfulness research and developed from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). No mystification, no exaggeration, and never a promise of a cure.
Eight weeks with the same teacher and the same fellow travellers, face to face in Hong Kong. Mindfulness is a practice between people — not homework done alone in front of a screen.
The Journey
Noticing how often we are "there but not present", and reconnecting with the here and now.
Learning to listen to the body's signals through the body scan.
Using breath and movement as anchors, practising bringing attention back.
Seeing the habits of stress and emotional reaction — and learning not to be dragged along by them.
Practising meeting difficult experiences with openness and gentleness.
Keeping a little distance from thoughts, no longer letting automatic thinking define you.
Exploring what nourishes you and what depletes you, and learning self-care.
Bringing the eight weeks together, and carrying the practice into every day that follows.
Teaching Team
The course is taught in person, in Cantonese, by our teaching team.
