A mutating virus, struggling economies, unstable governments, and a world
changing more rapidly than ever before—who could’ve predicted this last year?

While the universe has always been in flux, the radical uncertainty of these
past months has stressed almost everyone, making many of us anxious or
depressed.

Mindfulness and compassion practices were developed originally to steady the mind, open the heart, and find refuge in the present moment—however fleeting it may be. Now more than ever, they can help caregivers find equanimity in the face of personal and professional challenges, while proving to be valuable tools to enrich virtually any form of psychotherapy, education, or health care.

To fully reap their benefit, however, it’s necessary to practice. So please join
me with colleagues from around the world for an online educational retreat weaving together experiential practice with a nuanced understanding of how we can cultivate mindfulness and compassion in our daily lives and introduce practices to our students, clients, or patients.

During this time when our health and prosperity is in question, and rates of psychological distress, substance use, and domestic violence are on the rise, it’s especially important for us all to develop tools to open to, rather than resist uncertainty, and to find refuge in safely connecting with both our inner experience and other people.

This rejuvenating online retreat is suitable for mental health, other medical, and educational professionals, as well as psychologically-minded people from all walks of life.
