Mindfulness in Relationships Course on the 18th to 19th February 2012:
A Two-Day Weekend Introduction to Core Process Psychotherapy held by the Karuna Institute
Times: Saturday 9.30am – 5.00pm / Sunday 9.30am – 4.00pm
Venue: Mindfulness & WellBeing Centre, 2a-4a Cardiff Road, Caerphilly, CF83 1JN
Core Process Psychotherapy is rooted in Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice, informed by Western psychotherapy theory and approaches – all grounded in the belief and experience that awareness is inherently healing. This two-day course is an introduction to mindfulness practice as the basis for a profound enquiry into how we experience ourselves and others, and how we can heal our deepest personal and interpersonal woundings. The course also provides an opportunity to explore the link between the spiritual and psychological.
This two-day course is prerequisite for application to the MA in Core Process Psychotherapy. It will also be of particular interest to those who simply want to deepen their awareness of mindfulness practice in relationship to counselling and psychotherapy or any other areas of personal, workplace or community life. This course is also available for CPD credits. Students from outside the U.K. are welcome on our courses.
Tutor: Sue Roberts: Core Process Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Mindfulness Teacher
Supported by: Anthony Harris, Meditation Practitioner and Mindfulness Teacher
Cost: £150 (non-refundable) non-residential
