Mindfulness for Compassionate End of Life Care
Description
Mindfulness-informed end-of-life care assumes that compassion is the core intention of all health care. Yet how many of us have been trained in compassion as a response to suffering, illness, and death? Can compassion be cultivated as a skill set and knowledge base? Can it become a learned behavior that promotes resiliency in ourselves and others? How does the scientific evidence inform our current understanding of compassion? Building on the transformative practices of friendliness, loving-kindness (metta), tonglen, and attitudes of gratitude, this workshop takes a closer look at compassion-based models of practice.
