Mindfulness Professional Training:
Cultivating Inner Stillness in a Chaotic World

with Tracey Moon, LMBT and Sharon Nash, MA

October 5-6, 2017 | Thursday-Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm | 16 CE contact hours | $335 | open to the public

 

The first course in our Mindfulness Professional Training series focuses on embodied awareness and experiential mindfulness.

Mindfulness promotes deeper understanding of our own human experience, increases awareness of internal body messages and helps shift unhealthy patterns to positive ones. Research has shown that a mindfulness practice can also reduce stress, physical tension and pain, and reactivity. Through strengthening our internal awareness, our personal and professional lives can flourish with more resilience, less stress and increased happiness.

This highly experiential course will enable you to integrate mindfulness practices immediately into your work as well as your personal life. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner, all are welcome! In this course, you will:

  • Increase your capacity to meet difficulties, stress, chronic pain, grief and anxiety with attention, compassion and authenticity
  • Learn specific mindfulness-based practices that you can incorporate into your daily life and professional practice
  • Become more present and in-tune with your clients, co-workers, employers, friends and family by paying attention to verbal and non-verbal cues
  • Learn about the most current research that supports mindfulness
  • Increase your objectivity, flexibility, concentration and emotional and mental clarity
  • Identify the physiological changes of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system that occur during the stress response and how breathwork and mindfulness practice can lower stress response, reactivity and pain
  • Incorporate effective communication strategies using mindfulness-based communication approaches
