Event Details

This course explores the interface between Buddhism and contemporary psychotherapies. It examines the therapeutic effects of the Buddha’s core teachings and practices and also the ways in which the practice of mindfulness can be used alongside Western therapeutic modalities for a broader and better result. Mindfulness meditation training, its neurological bases and its application in contemporary psychotherapies will be discussed, demonstrated and practised in interactive and experiential ways.

This course will be an invaluable asset for those working in the field of mental health who wish to expand, improve and incorporate Buddhist mindfulness-based teachings and practices into their clinical practice. And, importantly, as a bonus, develop and deepen their own mindfulness practice for greater well being and increased resilience at work and at home.
