Mindful Caring for Care Givers


Registration begins at 8:30 AM


The demands placed on care givers in helping others often contribute to high stress and burnout.   Mindfulness practices are increasingly being used to offer support by being present to suffering while also caring for oneself and others.


Learn mindfulness practices to:

  • Train in compassionate care for oneself and others
  • Find rest in the midst of the daily routines which can be filled with anxieties and worries
  • Be present to family members, loved ones and strangers alike
  • Offer healing presence in the face of loss and sorrow.
  • Identify resources for growing a sense of well being
