The course is experiential with enough supporting theory and resources to assist you to live mindfully at home and at work. The primary focus of this course is mindful self-care of therapists. You will be able to practice these exercises and frame of reference in your private life, as well as in your practice. It is not focused on teaching you to become a mindfulness teacher.
Saki Santorelli, director of the Mindfulness Stress Reduction Clinic at Massachusetts Medical School puts it, daily mindfulness practice is asking us to cease the “tiring game of hiding from ourselves, or disowning large parts of ourselves in a futile attempt to appear whole, competent, caring. Each time we intentionally slow down or stop in the midst of a busy day, whether alone or in the presence of another, it is an act of remembrance of our fundamental capacity to be with, to let go, to open to the mystery and joy of or lives just as they are.”

“Mindfulness is a way of life, simply, with full conscious awareness of NOW, without judgment or critique. We must re-wire our minds to achieve this way of life.”
