Mindful Reflections on Attending to Suffering

Description

This course explores our relationship with suffering. Contrary to those who view suffering as an accident or mishap that interrupts life's flow, mindfulness end-of-life care assumes that suffering is a part of everyone's life. Few are trained in an ability to speak about suffering let alone to transform suffering. In this course, you will explore the ideological and cultural frameworks in health care of curare (to fix) and haelan (to make whole) which determines our in/abilities to speak about suffering. As well, you will explore and understand methodological approaches to transformative mindfulness meditation.
