[Practice Support] Deepening Mindful Awareness with Inquiry

This Practice Support workshop offers a personal exploration through inquiry, a method of questioning that enhances an individual's experience of the present moment. Participants will engage in a foundational “Mindful Eating” practice derived from the MBSR and MBCT programs, facilitated by a certified mindfulness instructor. The session is designed to be inclusive, with adaptations for a neurodiversity-informed and trauma-sensitive approach. Following the mindful eating exercise and inquiry, the workshop will culminate in a group discussion. This event is ideal for health professionals, therapists, facilitators, and those new to mindfulness, providing valuable insights into mindful practices for professional and personal development.

Learning Objectives:

• Experience the application of inquiry to deepen present-moment awareness.
• Practice “Mindful Eating” as a method of mindfulness-based awareness.
• Engage in group discussions to reflect on and share the practice experience.
• Understand adaptations for neurodiversity and trauma-informed mindfulness practices.

Practices:

• Brief overview of the “Mindful Eating” mindfulness practice (Preparation: Bring a raisin, cranberry, or piece of chocolate)
• Mindful Eating practice (5-min)
• Inquiry questions examining the present-moment experience of the practice
• Group discussion (Participants may choose just to listen, use chat, or unmute for engagement)

Join us to propel your professional and personal growth through mindful inquiry.
