This short retreat-workshop offers an opportunity to practise drawing on contemplative practice to orient and ground ourselves in embodied presence. In addition to supporting us in our daily lives, this can help us in our work with clients. We learn to lean back into our intrinsic awareness and can cultivate and sustain those inner qualities which support our capacity to open to whatever arises in the moment.
The intention is to co-create a safe, warm relational field for participants to feel able to settle into a simple rhythm over the weekend, prioritising and giving kind attention to ourselves, including when doing experiential practices in pairs. We can then listen to ourselves and each other with heart, opening to the possibility of dropping down in our embodied experience and entering a unified field of connection, while at the same time being with whatever is happening in terms of relational and intrapersonal processes.
There will be practice sessions in silence, sharing in the group, listening exercises in pairs, ritual-making, and walking meditation outside.
Re-visioning with heart: a contemplative approach to clinical practice
(with Italian translation)
Drawing on Buddhist contemplative supervision models, Anne will offer a series of online sessions to support those working one-to-one with clients in psychotherapy/the psychological therapies. Her emphasis is to create a context in which the therapeutic relationship can be re-visioned within a co-created field of heart.
The sessions will include small group work in break-out rooms and collective reflection on clinical themes.
All accredited/qualified practitioners are welcome!
It is recommended to come to the first session if you are interested in going forward.

It would be wonderful to have English as well as Italian speaking participants but there need to be enough to create a small group for session work. Please email SatiMudita or Anne via Sarana if you are English speaking and want to join.
