SUMMARY:Trauma Informed Mindfulness for Teachers of Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nTrauma Informed Mindfulness for Teachers of Mindfulness\nTrauma can be described as a negative experience that has overwhelmed us in circumstances where adequate support or resources were not available to us. Over the past few decades there has been a growing awareness that trauma can manifest in a variety of different ways with corrosive effects on our psyche, our bodies, our relationships, and our communities, such our mental and physical wellbeing is adversely affected.\nThere is emerging research that mindfulness can benefit those with mental health difficulties, including trauma by engendering a sense of stability and calm. However, there is also growing evidence that mindfulness and meditation practice can have adverse effects too. In such cases, mindfulness practice can indeed become much more challenging, and without a trauma-sensitive lens, it can actually perpetuate and intensify suffering.\nSimilarly, teaching mindfulness to others has great benefits and can be hugely rewarding, but it can also bring its own challenges, especially in the context of trauma. This residential workshop is an opportunity for those teaching mindfulness to come together to explore what it means to teach mindfulness in a trauma-informed way, and to practice together.  On this workshop you will:\n\nincrease your knowledge of what trauma is\nlearn how trauma might show up in both your practice and teaching of mindfulness\ntogether with others, explore how you may apply trauma-informed principles in your teaching practice and build on your existing wisdom as a mindfulness practitioner and teacher\nengage in mindfulness practices that are grounding and restorative\nlearn how to look after yourself as a teacher and mindfulness practitioner in the context of practicing and teaching trauma-informed mindfulness\n\n \nThis is an interactive and experiential workshop, with opportunities for reflection, group work and mindfulness practice.\nAs the main focus of this workshop is on what it means to teach mindfulness in a  trauma-informed way, it is most suitable for those with experience and training in teaching mindfulness.
