NEW MINDFULNESS WORKSHOP:
Mondays, March 15 - April 19
1:00pm-2:30pm
Mindful Presence: Compassionate Care for Self and Others
Being fully present to those in our lives with whom we care for, love and interact can be a challenge, particularly in these stressful times. Compassionate care for self and others requires that we operate from a place of balance so that we can be fully present to those with whom we interact. This new, six-week workshop focuses on two parts of the mindful presence process: personal stress management and compassionate care. Each week we will explore an aspect of the Mindful Presence Model with hands-on practices designed to manage stress and, most importantly, develop the skills to be deeply compassionate to others in our lives.
The workshop is offered via Zoom jointly by Whitney Senior Center and the Central Minnesota Council on Aging.
The workshop is offered by Dr. Steve Hoover. Dr. Hoover has taught mindfulness for over 10 years as well as stress management while a professor at St. Cloud State University. The Mindful Presence: Compassionate Care for Self and Others model has been designed by Dr. Hoover to incorporate both the stress management components of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and the latest research on compassion.
