This is a practical experiential half-day workshop
focused on addressing the teaching challenges posed by
women with complex trauma histories (especially
childhood sexual abuse) using lecture, demonstrations,
role-play, small group discussion and question/answer
periods. This workshop is for MBSR teachers and
therapists who wish to make their groups more sensitive
to this population as well as for those offering classes
specifically for traumatized populations. Our experience
and research data have given us confidence that MBSR is
an appropriate and helpful intervention for those
healing from complex trauma, given a mindful awareness
by the teacher to the curriculum and participants’
stages of healing.

Facilitators: Char Wilkins, LCSW and
Susan Woods, LICSW
Details and
registration
This retreat/training is focused on exploring the
relevance of formal and informal mindfulness practice in
terms of our personal well-being and professional
intention. The heart of these five days lies in
exploring how the embodiment of mindfulness practice can
not only inform our personal lives, but transform how we
experience our relationship to our professional life.
Even when it is our intention to take better care of
ourselves, we often neglect our own self-care, falling
into old habitual ways of thinking and reacting that
aren’t useful. We ask the question: What if I live my
work as my practice? What would my work look like? This
program is both experiential and didactic, and it
invites group discussion and provides time for
self-reflection.
This program is appropriate for therapists, clinicians,
educators, healthcare professionals, nutritionists, and
yoga instructors who want to strengthen a personal
mindfulness practice and skills with clients, patients,
students, and others in their lives.
