A Benefit for Spirit Rock
Description:
We live in a time of great promise and great peril. How can we respond to threats and injustices with effective action, while also preserving our own compassion, inner balance, and well-being? Together, we’ll explore answers to this question, informed by practical brain science. This workshop will emphasize experiential practice, meeting ourselves where we are, and learning together how to walk more evenly on uneven ground. Our time together will include guided meditation, discussion, and Q&A.

By integrating practical brain science and experiential practices such as meditation, providers can enhance their resilience and empathy, fostering a more effective and compassionate response to patient suffering, and develop tools to help clients navigate and cope with these fears effectively.
