Mindful Approaches to Well-Being for Helping Professionals
Description
Inviting teachers and other helping professionals to participate in a two-day workshop that will highlight the important role that subjective knowledge plays in our respective contexts. The helping professions are embedded in bureaucratic systems where relational/subjective knowing is paradoxically required, yet often undermined. The intensification and pace of workplace life contribute to the fragmentation of the self and disconnection from others. Reflective practices which help us reconnect to our subjective knowing may help counteract some of the forces that distort our moral agency in our attempts to humanize these professional contexts for all concerned. Participants in this seminar will use arts-based processes and mindfulness practices to examine resiliency, agency, and general well-being in the workplace. While best suited for educators, the module will be of interest to anyone in the helping professions.
