Trauma sensitive mindfulness

fvfgThis is an introductory workshop for trained mindfulness teachers to be held by Sonia Moratto on Wednesday 26 June 2024 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Trauma-sensitive mindfulness (TSM) means taking a trauma-informed approach to the mindfulness and meditation practices we use in standard MBCT. To be trauma-sensitive means to have adopted the following ‘4 Rs’

  • Realise the widespread impacts of trauma
  • Recognise the signs of trauma
  • Respond skilfully with helpful tools
  • Re-traumatization (avoid)

There are a variety of tips and TSM ways of working that can be brought into your MBCT based teaching. We will highlight some key considerations to help ensure that you are guiding others as safely and responsibly as possible.

You will have the chance to experience some of the practices for yourself and you will be given resources as to where to learn more.

The workshop is free for mindfulness trained teachers. The workshop will be held on MS teams. For more information and to register your place please email: mindfulness@nottshc.nhs.uk.

Mindfulness, compassion and the climate crisis

dcfd This will be held by Sonia Moratto on Tuesday 14 May 2024 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Widespread awareness of the climate crisis has not led to appropriate action either by leaders oras part of mass society.

In this workshop we will consider:

  • How mindful and compassionate reconnection is crucial both in helping us to address theconditions that caused the situation and overcome barriers to action.
  • How avoidance is a common coping strategy. Remaining engaged, calls us to strengthen ourinner resources to build resilience.

We will draw on the latest thinking within the field as we reflect on both our individual role andas a mindfulness community as to our contribution within a complex world.

The workshop will be held on-line via MS Teams.

This workshop is free of charge. Please email mindfulness@nottshc.nhs.uk for more informationand the booking form.

Ethics and professional issues in mindfulness-based teaching

cfv

This will be held on Thursday 21 March 2024 9.30am to 4.30pm.

This workshop is for trained mindfulness teachers who are interested in future developments for mindfulness groups, particularly in the context of ethics and integrity in teaching. Within the developing field of mindfulness-based programmes, where do we look for guidance around professional practice and ethics? How do we ensure the safety and well-being of our participants and ourselves? How can we contribute to and uphold the integrity of the mindfulness-based approaches within a changing and challenging world? 

This workshop will offer a framework within which we can explore these themes through experiential work, group discussion and reflecting on the available literature. 

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • Recognise in what ways you are already practicing with integrity. 
  • Identify ethical moments that show up in your teaching practice and begin to develop a plan for ongoing reflection and exploration. 
  • Name some of the key ethical themes currently arising in the field of mindfulness-based approaches and begin to consider how they might impact on your teaching practice.

This workshop will be facilitated by Pamela Duckerin who is a teacher, trainer and supervisor with the Mindfulness Network and the Centre For Mindfulness Research and Practice (CMRP). She has developed a keen interest in this topic, facilitating trainings and workshops and has written a chapter in a recent mindfulness skills book.
