Day of Mindfulness: How Mindfulness Is and Is Not a Psychotherapy
with Matthew Brensilver
In what ways does mindfulness practice function as a kind of ‘self-psychotherapy’? In what ways is mindfulness entirely unlike psychotherapy? During our day together, we’ll explore how the mindfulness path overlaps with the healing we might find in psychotherapy: it supports self-understanding, uncovers behavioral patterns and transforms how we relate to our past. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, mindfulness practice relies on states of concentration, letting go and surrender that point to cultivations beyond typical psychotherapeutic aims.
The daylong will include periods of meditation, lecture and discussion. It is not designed as a professional training but an examination of how mindfulness gets under the skin and transforms our heart. All are welcome.
