Mindfulness: An Educational Retreat
June 24 - 28, 2013, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Sponsored by the New England
Educational Institute
To
incorporate mindfulness into our work and personal lives, we
need an intellectual as well as an intuitive, visceral
understanding of the practice. In this symposium, you will
develop a solid theoretical understanding of mindfulness from
both the Buddhist and western scientific perspectives. You will
also receive instruction in mindfulness meditation and be given
the opportunity for personal practice in a relaxed and
supportive atmosphere.
Through lecture, demonstration, experiential exercise, and small
group discussion, we will examine how mindfulness practice can
enhance therapeutic presence and transform our understanding of
the causes of psychological suffering across the diagnostic
spectrum. You will learn when and how to introduce various
mindfulness techniques to your clients or patients; how to
utilize special techniques for treating anxiety, depression,
chronic pain, stress-related medical disorders, and
interpersonal conflicts; and how to creatively work with
obstacles to mindfulness practice.
15 CE’s are offered to
physicians, psychologists, counselors/educators, nurses, social
workers, and marriage and family therapists.

Balancing the Mind:
An Intensive Mindfulness Retreat for Mental Health
Professionals
August 16-24, 2013, Taos, New Mexico
Sponsored by
Vallecitos Mountain Ranch.
With Bill Morgan, Psy.D., and
Susan Morgan, MSN, RN, CS and Ronald Siegel, Psy.D.
During the week we’ll consider
the five controlling faculties or mental qualities
that are key to the development of our meditation
practice. Each of these faculties - confidence,
energy, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom -
support and balance one another as practice matures.
We will look at how to cultivate them, learn how to
evaluate and re-calibrate their balance, and
understand how they deepen the posture of
therapeutic presence in our psychotherapeutic work.
This course offers an opportunity
to practice with colleagues in a stunningly
beautiful retreat environment. The teaching will be
experience-near, focusing on the development of your
own personal mindfulness practice as a means of
deepening both meditative and therapeutic presence.
There will be daily mindfulness meditation
instruction, study modules most afternoons in
combination with dyadic or small group discussion,
and individual meetings with teachers. The rest of
the time we will observe silence, including during
meals, to facilitate a deeper contemplative
experience. There will be one completely silent
retreat day during the course.
Bill and Susan Morgan will be on hiatus from a
four-year meditation retreat in order to teach this
program.
20 CE credits available to
psychologists, social workers and licensed mental
health counselors.
