Bringing Mindfulness to our Communications With Clients in Healthcare

A day to explore how mindful speech, discussion, and ‘inquiry’ enlivens our work with individuals and groups

Mindfulness strengthens our interactions with clients (and colleagues)—whether working one-on-one or facilitating groups. In this day-long session we’ll deepen our practice of mindfulness together, and discover how mindful speech, discussion, and ‘inquiry’ support self-awareness, investigation, and insight.

This is the second in a series of 3 sessions designed to support Healthcare Practitioners. Look for the third session in April.

Who the program is for:

• Healthcare providers who have a mindfulness practice
• Healthcare providers training in mindfulness-based interventions including MBSR, MBCT, DBT, ACT

What this session includes:

• Guided mindfulness practices to deepen our personal practice (body and breath; movement; listening and ‘inquiry’)
• Communication practices that support awareness, insight, and cohesion in mindfulness groups
