Oasis Institute for Mindfulness-Based Professional Education and Training Presents:
The Insight of the Heart: A Workshop for Teachers and Aspiring Teachers of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI)
Guided by: Saki F. Santorelli, EdD, MA Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) emerged out of many intentions - the primary one being the relief of suffering. To embody this intention as teachers requires us to become increasingly attentive to our suffering and capacity to love. Because of this, the path of the heart and its essential place in the lives of MBI teachers will be the focus of the workshop. Together, we'll explore our inborn capacity to become intimate with the joys and sorrows of life and wise about the possibility of meeting life with greater understanding, ease, and delight.
As teachers, the workshop will offer you:
1) An opportunity to investigate and become more familiar with the realm of heart and its place within the MBI classroom.
2) A laboratory for learning to cultivate warmth, stability and love when facing difficult times in our own lives and the lives of those with whom we work.
3) A direct experience of the fierceness and wisdom of the heart.
4) An exploration of the dialogue and inquiry process as an expression of the heart source from which it originates and moves Learning Objectives: - Cultivate mindfulness through silence, conversation and dialogue.
- Integrate the beauty, power, and insight of the heart into our lives as MBI teachers.
- Investigate and practice the process of inquiry as used within the MBI classroom.
- Explore the spectrum and subtly of emotion as a guide to our values and actions.
