'Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy & Introduction to Insight Meditation' with C.E. - With Louise Beck, LICSW & Ted Jones, LMHC

Sat 06/01/13 - 9:15am to 4:30pm

This workshop explores the complementary aspects of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Insight Meditation. MBCT emphasizes working with individuals providing them therapeutic tools to cultivate ease of mind, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and improve attention. Insight Meditation emphasizes the cultivation of continuous present moment awareness and freedom from the compulsive self-absorption that is the root cause of suffering. This day-long workshop combines lecture, experiential exercises, and two hours of formal training in Insight Meditation. Participants will emerge with a basic understanding of MBCT and of its application to decrease suffering through an increase in non-judgmental awareness. In addition, basic meditation skills will be developed, along with an appreciation of the potential benefits of regular, ongoing meditation practice.

Louise Beck received her MSW from Smith College and completed a Harvard psychiatry fellowship in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Research at Mass General Hospital. She has been in clinical practice for over 30 years  and a practitioner of insight meditation for more than a decade.

'Compassion and Wisdom' retreat - With Matthew Daniell

Sat 06/08/13 - 9:00am to 5:00pm

Compassion teaches us to open our heart in kindness to suffering.  Wisdom teaches us to let go.  On the path of Buddhist practice these qualities are often linked, likened to two wings of a bird.   When we learn to both hold suffering and let it go, we discover an inner openness, resilience, and responsiveness that allows our practice on the meditation cushion and in relational life to be uplifted. On this retreat we will cultivate compassionate attitudes that complement the core of our practice, clear present moment awareness.  This retreat is suitable for ongoing students.
