Through didactic presentation, case examples, meditation practices and small group activities, we will explore essential themes of mindfulness and compassion to support us personally and professionally. The workshop will emphasize the development of mindfulness and compassion as the fundamental ground for the therapeutic process, regardless of theoretical orientation or specific techniques. From the perspective of mindfulness, healing does not require changing or fixing our experience, but discovering the capacity to find freedom in the midst of our authentic experience and innate human vulnerability.
