SUMMARY:Motivating Yourself with Kindness Instead of Criticism for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee. \nWhen we first sense the need to make a change\, our impulse is often to respond negatively and criticize ourselves. We go over all the things we’ve done wrong and how we should have done\nthem differently. But that’s a poor strategy for creating meaningful change—research shows that instead\, we are much more likely to get results through kindness and encouragement. \nIn this class we will review the principles of self-compassion and then learn the practice of loving-kindness to cultivate an open and loving heart. Next\, we’ll examine how mindfulness\, loving-kindness\, and compassion go hand in hand and yet differ from each other in many ways. In this training\, students will explore self-criticism\, why it is so pervasive\, and how it often sabotages our attempts to change. Last\, we’ll investigate how care for oneself and self-kindness are effective approaches to positive transformation. \nTrainer: Carol Hendershot \nPlease see this link for registration.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Self-Compassion for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee. \nSelf-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.\nIn 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. \nIn 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. \nTrainer: Carol Hendershot \nPlease use this link to register.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox All-Day Finding Balance Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Eligible for 6 MDHHS continuing education credits. $25 Registration fee. \nIn this chaotic world filled with personal and professional commitments\, each of us could use some help in defining\, finding\, and holding on to that wonderful thing we call balance.

In that spirit\, we would love to have you join us for a day of savoring each moment and building balance into your life. \nBefore the day begins\, we will send you instructions for creating a sanctuary in your home. During the day\, we will slowly guide you through practices that will expand your ability to settle and soften. If you are new to mindfulness\, you will be given options to ease in and out. If you already have an established meditation practice\, this will be a day of deepening. \nTrainer: Carol Hendershot \nPlease use this link to register.

SUMMARY:Meeting Difficult Emotions: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness for Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Eligible for MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. See this link for flyer and registration. \nWe evolved to have a negativity bias. It’s been hardwired since we were in caves to save us from predators. Today\, however\, many of the lions and tigers in our lives are created by our thoughts and emotions. As Mark Twain once said\, “I have had many catastrophes in my life\, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain To create happiness\, and happiness first\, we must find healthy ways to work with our challenging thoughts and emotions. We’ll begin this workshop by discussing different strategies to defuse difficult emotions and learn practices to bring us back to balance. In the second part of this workshop\, we will learn methods to rebalance our nervous system and rewire our brains for a more positive outlook. \nTrainer: Carol Hendershot
