Description
Participants in this 90-minute workshop will learn about and
experience the benefits of trauma-sensitive mindfulness (TSM), which
include numerous enhancements to physical and psychological health, as
well as becoming more aware of personal and cultural conditioning. The
workshop format will be brief periods of didactic presentation
integrated with experiential mindfulness practices. Skills to be
explored include the TSM foundational practice of anchoring, a
compassion practice, and an activity meditation. Time for reflection
is built into the workshop.
Space in this cohort is limited to 30 participants. There is no
fee to participate.
We hope you will join us! Participants in other offerings from
this team of presenters consistently report improvements to their
wellbeing, often accompanied by an enhanced sense of belonging.
