Inhoud van de workshop:
This two-day workshop is an introduction to the full five-day Mindful Eating/Conscious Living
(MECL) Professional Teacher Training. The workshop is highly experiential, combining
mindfulness meditation and mindful eating exercises with practical application to help
participants pass the benefits of mindful eating on to clients and patients in a variety of settings.
This workshop is intended for those who wish to incorporate mindful eating and supportive
mindfulness-related practices into their one-on-one clinical practice and/or in group work in which
eating, food and body are aspects or the central focus. It is designed for clinicians in mental health
or healthcare fields and clinicians-in-training in these fields. It is also relevant for therapists and
counselors who do not specialize in eating-related disorders as a way to understand, through the
lens of mindfulness, the unique opportunity that eating and food provide as gateways to selfawareness and understanding for those who experience anxiety, depression, abuse, stress and/or
illness.
MECL offers a multi-faceted approach to mindful eating and it includes didactic instruction,
meditation and eating exercises, group inquiry and dialogue, and current research. This two-day
workshop offers a ‘taste’ of how mindful eating might be held and integrated, and the opportunity
to decide if more in-depth training is for you.
MECL draws from Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-based Cognitive
Therapy (MBCT), current research, and the instructors' combined 26 years of experience working
in public and clinical settings with a wide range of people with distressed eating patterns.
Registration will be limited for this experiential program in order to cultivate an intimate, personal
and highly interactive workshop environment.
