Afternoon Session 1:15 pm to 4:15 pm

Join us to participate in learning from the revolutionary research in neurobiology and the complementary practices of psychology east and west. Based on Dan Siegel’s new book THE MINDFUL BRAIN and Jack Kornfield’s forthcoming book, BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY FOR THE WEST, this workshop will offer theoretical and experiential learning, insights and tools for therapists, meditation practitioners, healers and all those interested in the power of inner transformation and the development of a wise and loving heart.

 This workshop will allow ample time for interaction between the presenters and dialogue with the participants.  Conceptual ideas will be woven together with experiential immersion throughout this intensive exploration of the art and science of personal transformation and the cultivation of well-being.        

These two days will focus on a range of integrated topics including:

• Buddhist psychology’s core principles of mental health and well being
• The structure of the mind and how understanding consciousness and mental patterns can lead to freedom
• How to incorporate compassion and forgiveness into our work and our life
• The powerful effects of mindfulness trainings on body and mind
• The practices and principles of transforming difficult emotions at their root
• How intention and motivation (and the practical understanding of karma) become essential tools for change in with ourselves and others
• The wisdom of positive psychology, and the art of healing
• The nature of attention and the power and practices of the mind to cultivate mindful awareness
• How mindful awareness can be considered a form of “intrapersonal attunement” that catalyzes mental, interpersonal, and physiological well-being
• The overlap among secure parent-child attachment, mindfulness, and the integrative function of the brain, especially in the prefrontal cortex
• The role of a “resonance circuit” in mindfulness practice that enables an individual to attune to others and oneself
• The nature of a sense of self beneath personality and adaptation that is nurtured to blossom with mindfulness
• The power of psychotherapy to utilize mindful practice in direct and indirect ways that help reduce suffering and promote resilience
