Daylong Training

Resilience is a skill; it can be learned and strengthened.

This experiential daylong provides practical tools to protect against burn-out, handle stress, and increase inner stability. Drawing on practices from Buddhist meditation, Nonviolent Communication, and trauma healing, we will explore a range of methods for building resilience: somatic, cognitive, emotional, and relational.

The day will include guided meditations, silent reflection, inquiry, movement, and writing. Participants will gain a greater understanding of their own strengths and challenges with resilience, as well as develop a personalized resilience toolkit.

The teachings are appropriate for therapists and other healthcare professionals, and are applicable in therapeutic settings as well as for personal care.  Continuing Education Units are available for therapists, nurses, and psychologists licensed in the state of California.
