Electives & Continuing Education
Effective February 2, 2018, MBSR in Mind-Body Medicine will shift from being a required prerequisite for beginning the Teacher Education Pathway and become an elective that may be taken at any time in one’s journey to becoming a Certified MBSR teacher.
One elective is required for MBSR Teacher Certification.
Oasis Electives
E-100 / DM-100MBSR in Mind-Body Medicine
This 7-day program is a unique opportunity for physicians and other healthcare professionals to train intensively in mindfulness meditation, learn the science and application of mind-body medicine, and learn how to more fully incorporate mindfulness into their lives
E-102Coming to Our Senses, with Jon Kabat-Zinn
In this 5-day retreat, you will engage in periods of formal meditation practice interspersed with group dialogue and informal talks by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Explore the possibility of growing more deeply in ways that can allow us to live our lives as if it really mattered, in the only moment we ever have—this one—to understand more profoundly how we fit into and belong in the larger world of our society, the body politic, and the planet, as well as within our own skin.
E-103First, Do No Harm: Working Skillfully with Meditation-Related Challenges
This weekend workshop will focus on the competencies one needs to work skillfully with meditation-related challenges. The training will include: detailed descriptions of different types of meditation-related challenges; the circumstances that contribute to their impact and duration; the different ways they are interpreted and appraised; and best practices for working with challenges as a meditation practitioner or a meditation teacher. Weaving contemporary research with experiential practices, this workshop will also address the importance of screening, monitoring, informed consent, and management strategies.
