Mindfulness: An Educational Retreat
To incorporate mindfulness into our work and personal lives, we need an intellectual and an intuitive understanding of the practice. Mindfulness: An Educational Retreat will provide its participants to develop a solid theoretical understanding of mindfulness from both the Buddhist and western scientific perspectives. Also, participants will receive instruction in mindfulness meditation and be given the opportunity for personal practice in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. The retreat will be held from June 27-July 1, 2011 at the New England Educational Institute, Cape Cod, Massachussets.
Through lecture, demonstration, experiential exercise, and small group discussion, participants will examine how mindfulness practice can enhance therapeutic presence and transform their understanding of the causes of psychological suffering across the diagnostic spectrum. Participants will learn when and how to introduce various mindfulness techniques to their clients or patients. They will also learn to utilize special techniques for treating anxiety, chronic pain, stress-related medical disorders, and interpersonal conflicts and to develop creative ways to work with obstacles to mindfulness practice.
