What corporate mindfulness is and how it works
Corporate mindfulness in Barcelona is a guided attention session led by a qualified instructor, which can be done seated on a chair in work clothes. No taking off shoes, no sitting on the floor, no believing in anything.
The session has three parts. First, a short, non-mystical explanation of what mindfulness is and what effect it has on concentration and stress. Then two or three guided practices: breathing, body scan and attention to sound. Finally, an open question round, which is usually the part people appreciate most.
The instructor closes by handing out a written guide to the exercises, so anyone who wants to can keep practising on their own in five minutes a day.
Mindfulness at conferences and conventions: the break that recharges
On a long day of talks, the audience's attention drops by mid-afternoon. A mindfulness session at conferences is a simple way to win it back: a qualified instructor guides the group through a mindfulness practice done seated on chairs and in work clothes, without taking shoes off or changing the room layout. In half an hour, delegates return to the talks more focused.
- Mid-afternoon break: the ideal moment to cut fatigue between blocks of talks.
- Start of the day: it centres the group before a long strategy meeting.
- Closing the event: a calm way to finish after intense days.
- No exposure: nobody has to speak or do anything in front of others.
The session needs very little: a quiet room, free from noise and people passing through, and roughly 1.5 m² per participant. As no furniture has to be moved, it fits into the agenda of a conference or convention without logistical hassle. We bring mindfulness for corporate events to Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain, as a wellbeing break within your programme.
Session requirements
A guided meditation session at the office needs very little:
- A quiet room: no building noise, phones or people passing through. It's the one genuinely important requirement.
- Seating: ordinary chairs will do. If you want the floor format, we bring cushions and mats.
- Space: roughly 1.5 m² per participant.
- Power: not needed. The instructor uses no microphone in groups under 40.
- Lighting: dimmable if possible. Soft light works better.
A single instructor can handle up to 60 people, because there are no individual postures to correct. That makes mindfulness the most efficient activity in our whole catalogue when the group is large.
Why book mindfulness for your company
Mindfulness for company events has the lowest barrier to entry of anything we offer: no changing clothes, no physical effort, no exposure in front of the team, and it fits in half an hour.
That's why it works where other activities can't: in workforces spanning very different ages, at events where people are in suits, or as a break inside a day of meetings without reorganising anything.
It's also the natural companion to stress-management training or a workplace mental health plan, because it leaves behind a concrete, practicable tool rather than just a talk.
What kind of events mindfulness suits
Corporate mindfulness sessions fit at:
- Wellbeing days and mental health weeks.
- Conventions and congresses, as a mid-afternoon break between talks.
- The start of long strategy meetings, to focus the group.
- Stress and burnout prevention programmes.
- Team retreats, combined with yoga and the outdoors.
It's also the best way to close an intense day: after an ice bath or a kayaking outing, twenty minutes of guided meditation brings the group's pulse down before dinner.
Mindfulness workshops for companies and workplace stress relief
Calm minds
A mindfulness workshop for companies is the most direct way to give your staff a real tool against daily pressure. Guided meditation in the office needs no change of clothes and no moving of furniture, and in half an hour the mood in the room shifts completely.
If your HR team is working on stress management for employees, these sessions fit in as the practical piece of an emotional wellbeing plan. We offer corporate mindfulness in Madrid, Barcelona and across Spain, in offices as well as hotels and conference venues, adapting the content to small teams or full auditoriums.
- Emotional wellbeing plans: a guided meditation programme to prevent stress and burnout in the team.
- Busy conference agendas: a mindfulness break between talks to win back the audience’s attention.
- Board and leadership meetings: a few minutes of mindfulness to start a strategy session focused.
- Retreats and offsites: meditation at the end of the day to slow down before dinner.

Corporate mindfulness price
The price of a corporate mindfulness session is among the lowest in our catalogue, because there is no heavy equipment or several instructors to pay for.
It is set per session and duration, regardless of how many participants there are, as long as the group does not exceed 60 people. Above that, sound equipment is needed and, at times, a second support instructor.
As a programme, for instance eight weekly sessions following the classic MBSR structure, each session costs quite a bit less than a stand-alone talk, and it is the option that gives the best results in the medium term.
Setting up the session
Setting up a mindfulness session at the office takes barely 20 minutes.
We arrange the chairs in a semicircle or, for the floor format, hand out cushions and mats. We adjust the lighting, close blinds if needed and check there's no foreseeable noise during the session: it's common to ask that reception be told nobody should come through that room.
If the group is over 40 we also set up a small PA. Taking down is 15 minutes and leaves no trace.
Booking your mindfulness session
This is what we need to book mindfulness at your company:
- Day, time and duration; if you are unsure, 45 minutes is what works best.
- Roughly how many people will attend.
- Whether you prefer chairs or sitting on the floor.
- A single session or a programme of several weeks.
We reply in under 24 working hours and the booking is fixed with 50% in advance. For long programmes we invoice month by month. A hiccup with the room on the day? Any other quiet space will do: it is the easiest activity to relocate at the last minute.
Frequently asked questions
What is a corporate mindfulness session and how does it run?
It is a guided mindfulness session led by an MBSR-qualified instructor, lasting 30 to 60 minutes. It includes a short introduction, two or three guided practices (breathing, body scan and listening to sounds) and a question round. At the end we hand out a written guide to the exercises.
Do you need experience or a change of clothes for mindfulness in the office?
No, mindfulness needs no previous experience and no change of clothes: work clothes are fine. The session can be done seated on a chair, without going down to the floor. If you prefer a floor format, we bring cushions and mats for every participant.
How many people can join a mindfulness session, and how much space is needed?
One mindfulness instructor looks after 8 to 60 people. We need a quiet room with about 1.5 m² per person and, if possible, dimmable lighting. No electricity is needed. It helps to tell reception so nobody walks in during the session. We set up in about 20 minutes.
What company events is mindfulness suited to?
Mindfulness suits wellbeing days, mental health weeks, conference breaks and teams with a heavy workload. It is a gentle activity with no physical effort, so it works for workforces of very different ages. Our team takes it to offices, hotels and conference venues.
Can the mindfulness session be personalised with the company's brand?
Yes, the mindfulness session can be personalised with notebooks and cushions bearing your company's logo. That way attendees take home a branded keepsake of the session. We take care of transport, set-up and collection of the equipment, in Barcelona and across Spain.
