Hi There!

This is the Home Page for accessing your course blog.  To enter a blog, click on the link in the menu bar above. Please note these are private blogs, and only accessible by participants in out programs.


Getting on to your blog:

Your course blog will have:
  • Details of the forthcoming session, 
  • Preliminary reading to download, 
  • The key article to read for the session,
  • Useful links, visual information and videos, 
  • A PDF of the power point presentation to download
  • The blog will also enable you to post a short reflection after each session.

After registering for one of our programs, you will receive two emails:
  • An email welcome to your course, with a link to this page. 
  • An email invitation to the course blog that will look like this:
The Blogger user ray hawkes has invited you to contribute to the blog: Mindful Therapist Session One.
To contribute to this blog, visit:
You'll need to sign in with a Google Account to confirm the invitation and start posting to this blog. If you don't have a Google Account yet, we'll show you how to get one in minutes.
To learn more about Blogger and starting your own free blog visit http://www.blogger.com.


Click on the link in the email and you will go to the blogger welcome screen:

If you already have a blogger or Google account, just sign in and you are away.
If you don’t have a blogger or Google account, just click on “Create your account now”, and you will go to this screen:

Provide an email address and a password, and your “display name” (we suggest your first name, so others in the course can identify your blog posts.)
Note that this is a private blog, and only those who are in the course will be invited.  Your Google account and password protects this blog from viewing by those not in the course.
Once in the blog, you will see this screen:
Subsequent sessions.
Every fortnight, just after each of the eight sessions, you will get an invitation to next weeks’ session, with the pre-reading and links.   Just click on the invitation, just as you did for the first session, and you will enter the next session blog.


We hope you find this course very helpful and interesting.
Best wishes and happy Blogging.

Ray Hawkes.
