'Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy & Introduction to Insight Meditation' without 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.
