Mindfulness workshop

A WORKSHOP to assist residents diagnosed with cancer, and their loved ones, is being held in Cairns this Friday.

Cancer Council Queensland will host the half-day Introduction to Mindfulness Workshop to help the more than 1430 Far North Queenslanders who are diagnosed each year with cancer.

The workshop, based on a combination of mindfulness meditation and cognitive therapy, is facilitated by health professionals and provides participants with meditation skills and tools to help them live more fully in the moment, rather than being caught up in worries.

It is being held on Friday from 9am-1pm at Cancer Council’s office in Cairns, at 169 Aumuller St, Bungalow.
