Date: Saturday, December 14, 2019; 10:00am – 4:30pm.
Sliding Scale: $75 – 200. Code RH4D19.
5.5 CE credits available for $55, for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors.
Description:
Modern brain science is shedding light on the underlying neuropsychology of deep experiences of present moment awareness, integrated wholeness of mind, and the sense of interdependent connection with nature and physical reality. We can use these new findings in very practical ways to relax the contracted sense of self, and to rest increasingly in resilient well-being.
This experiential day retreat will explore:
• Neural factors of steadying attention
• How to stimulate and strengthen neural networks that support present-moment awareness and integrated wholeness
• Our egocentric and “allocentric” neural networks
• How to shift in a more allocentric direction.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
At the end of the program you will better able to:
• Teach clients six factors of steadying attention;
•Teach clients two ways to stabilize present moment awareness;
•Describe the three stages of attention processing in the brain;
• Describe how the brain switches back and forth between egocentric and allocentric modes of sensory processing.
