Mindfulness Meditation Training for Health Practitioners - Craig Hassed
- Friday 13th - Sunday 15th
Mindfulness-based meditation, stress management and cognitive therapy are attracting enormous interest in the mental health and medical fields. Much of this interest is based upon emerging research as well as millennia of acquired wisdom.
Practitioner’s program: This three-day experiential live-in program is designed for health practitioners from various disciplines who are interested in developing or extending skills in practice and delivery of mindfulness therapies. Participants will be introduced to a range of mindfulness practices and explore how mindfulness can form the core of a comprehensive approach to stress management, counselling and cognitive therapy.
By gently allowing each person to move at their own pace the program will be suitable for practitioners new to mindfulness and also for those more experienced. Prolonged periods of practice will be punctuated with instruction, discussion, questions and reflection and optional yoga, all in the beautiful and peaceful environment and facilities of The Gawler Foundation’s Retreat Centre in Yarra Junction.
