Buddhist Psychology and Contemplative Psychotherapy - Robin Boudette PhD with Jill Satterfield

Jill Satterfield will join Dr.  Boudette in facilitating interactive exercises for integrating  mindfulness into healing and psychotherapy.

This workshop is appropriate for mental health professionals and students of yoga and meditation interested in incorporating mindfulness meditation into their work with clients. Through discussion, clinical examples, and practice teaching, participants will gain practical knowledge and skills to bring mindfulness into their work.

Through combining the two disciplines - yoga and Buddhism - she healed beyond all medical prognoses.
