This workshop for professionals
is a 3-day intensive for individuals who want to further their own healing and
for those who assist others in the healing journey. This workshop acknowledges
that many people have encountered difficult situations as children and as
adults: trauma, abuse, neglect, break-ups, betrayal, disappointment, failures,
illness, loss, and grief. Yet, humans are resilient creatures - they generally
find ways to survive. However, surviving isn’t the same as thriving! Indeed,
many times the very adaptations that helped people to survive get in the way of
really living life wholeheartedly.
Psychiatrist, researcher,
teacher, and workshop designer, Jon Caldwell, DO, PhD, will personally
facilitate the workshop. The Mind & Heart workshop is a scientifically
researched intervention that entails a mixture of highly informative material
and experiential exercises using mindfulness and compassion. Because these
ancient practices will be applied in unique ways to heal past wounds, people of
various skill levels with mindfulness can benefit from the workshop. Also, the
practice of mindfulness and compassion does not need to interfere with workshop
participants’ spiritual beliefs, but can serve to deepen existing belief
systems. All that is needed is a curious mind, a willing heart, and an
intention to heal!
