Training for Social Workers, Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, and Mental Health Practitioners.
An Experiential Training
Mindful awareness, coupled with compassion practices, teaches us to acknowledge suffering more fully and to hold it compassionately. All humans suffer from loneliness, anger, confusion, insecurity, anxiety, and sorrow.
We cultivate the conditions that support and invite us to be vulnerable to our suffering so that we can learn about compassion. We learn to grow our capacity to be with our suffering so that we can be more present to the suffering of others.
In this workshop, we will teach specific practices drawn from eastern compassion and meditation teaching. These practices train us how to hold our difficulties in a safe and caring environment. We learn to notice our warm-up to reactivity and to pause, breathe, and settle so that we do not cause injury to self or to others.
We will be using techniques derived from psychodrama and sociometry as well as group sharing as our primary tools, furthering our investigation into what arises from our meditations.
Objectives
Participants will learn to:
- Help clients describe their “internal holding environment”, (physiological/psychological and attitude). Through meditation, participants will learn to help clients to calm and settle their nervous systems. By doing so, they develop a kinder receptivity to be with what arises.
- Use the projective technique of the intra-psychic and relational social atom with the “field of care” atom. This guide will help clients explore relationships that need compassionate attention.
- Integrate the techniques of pausing and naming reactivity so that they can be more skillful in their interventions with clients.
