RAM Center- Mindfulness and the Science of Habit Change Retreat
2024-08-28 08:30 - 16:30 | Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center, 104 Conservation Dr., Roscommon, MI, 48653, United States
“Habits are not a finish line to be crossed, they’re a lifestyle to be lived.” – James Clear
Research shows that more than 40% of everything we do each day are not decisions but habits. So, how do we cultivate habits that enhance our lives by supporting us in rough water and giving us an extra edge in calm seas?
This will be a full day of learning and exploration. We will discuss the conceptual underpinnings of how habits form and gain a deeper understanding of how to put that knowledge to work. We will look at the habit loop to see how both pleasant and unpleasant experiences reinforce our habits and how we can use that knowledge to break bad habits and cultivate good habits.
Mindfulness is the key to transforming our habit patterns by giving us the tools to see what we are doing clearly without being overwhelmed. It gives us the space to step back and look at our lives objectively and make wise choices about what we want to strengthen and what we want to lessen or eliminate.
With mindfulness, we can move from living unconsciously and become the architects of our lives. Would you like to lessen or eliminate things like constantly checking social media, procrastinating, overeating, or smoking? Or would you like to strengthen habits like eating well, meditating, or listening deeply? This training may be for you.
We will spend much of the day in mindfulness practices, including sitting and walking meditation, body scans, and mindful movement practices.
What’s Included:
● Mindfulness and the Science of Habit Change Participant Handbook PDF.
● Links to audio and video practices.

Marquette- Power With: Leading from the Heart
2024-09-25 08:30 - 16:30 | Holiday Inn Marquette, 1951 US-41, Marquette, MI, 49855, United States
Peer support leadership is more about supervision and people management. Our lived experiences shape who we are, how we interact with others and how we hold and share power with others in our communities. This workshop will introduce liberatory peer support leadership. Themes discussed will include common misconceptions about leadership culture, navigating hierarchy in real life situations, and the importance of leading from the heart and remaining rooted in our lived experiences.
Objectives:
• Participants will receive a nuanced introduction to liberatory peer leadership and its key elements.
• Participants will identify their unique leadership voice and style and understand the importance of remaining rooted in their own lived experiences.
• Participants will practice their own unique leadership voice and style using common scenarios related to supervision, team management, local community, and immediate relationships.
Trainer: Nze Okoronta

Day-Long Self-Compassion Training for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-11-22 09:00 - 16:30 | Zoom
Self-Compassion is the practice of befriending ourselves just the way we are. It gives us strategies to live fully through both the joys and the sorrows of our lives. It reminds us that all human beings struggle, and we are not alone. It is a powerful tool for emotional resilience that teaches us to support ourselves with kindness and compassion instead of harshness and self-criticism. In this class we will explore why mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion and how we can leverage these practices to live happier and more productive lives.
In peer-reviewed studies, Mindful Self-Compassion has been shown to significantly increase compassion for self and others as well as life satisfaction. It has also been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, and stress.
What you will learn:

What self-compassion is, the benefits, and the research that supports it.
The three elements of Self-Compassion.
The myths of self-compassion.
How to motivate yourself with self-compassion instead of self-criticism.
How we cause ourselves unnecessary suffering and what to do about it.

How to prepare:

Wear loose comfortable clothing.
Have a water bottle and snacks available.
Arrange to keep technology to a minimum.
There will be a 60-minute lunch break and two 15-minute Breaks.
Suspend judgment and meet the day with curiosity.
