SUMMARY:MYndful Movement for Parent-Child Connection: A Mindfulness Toronto Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:IT TAKES A VILLAGE \n“A child is a bell of mindfulness\, reminding us how marvelous life is”\n~ Thich Nhat Hanh \nMany of us have heard the African proverb “it takes a village to raise a child”\, which means that it takes many people in a community to provide children with the foundational tools and experiences needed to flourish. We all hold multiple roles throughout our lifespan\, including that of parent or caregiver\, Elder\, sibling\, friend\, and even teacher or mentor. In all of these roles\, we have the opportunity to listen\, to learn\, and to teach. Much of our teachings can be delivered through the embodiment of mindfulness\, which is grounded in our personal practice. \nOn April 19th\, we had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Shelley Murphy who shared how we may cultivate inner presence and peace using trauma-sensitive mindfulness tools and practice. The emergence of trauma-sensitive practice in the field of mindfulness recognizes that many of us come to the practice with existing trauma\, which may make the cultivation of mindfulness difficult when triggered. Through a short experiential practice\, Dr. Murphy shared three notable containment resources that we may draw on to help ground\, or reground ourselves during a practice\, including: envisioning a safe place\, envisioning a safe person\, and self-touch. The recording of this session may be viewed by Mindfulness Toronto members on our YouTube page. \nThis month\, Mindfulness Toronto offers a space to practice and to learn about how we can infuse our family\, our classroom\, and our community\, with mindfulness and compassion\, to support our children. Join us for another incredible session featuring Deb Taylor on May 17th. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet’s bring mindfulness and social-emotional learning to our families for greater acceptance\, compassion\, focus and peace. \nParents and those who serve parents will learn and practice these innovative and creative mindful moments. Distraction\, anxiety\, and time limitations are some of the primary challenges parents and teachers face in reaching children and youth today. As parents\, our job has never been more complicated or challenging. Our growth-mindset is critical in these changing times with an awareness lit with love and acceptance. Deb Taylor’s focus on evidence-based activities supports healthier\, safer\, and more mindful communities through The MYndful Movement Program. \nThe MYndful Movement Program resources allow parents and children to practice alongside each other\, creating fun and relatable moments with sensory awareness activities\, emotional literacy games\, creative expression\, drumming exercises\, movement sequences\, breath-work\, and more. \nDeb is a primary\, intermediate and senior-level teacher\, curriculum writer\, OCT member\, professional development instructor\, mindfulness facilitator\, and mindful movement/yoga instructor with more than 20-years of experience in and outside of the classroom. Learning and sharing mindfulness techniques in a variety of creative modalities has been Deb’s focus\, particularly in education and family life. Deb’s deep appreciation for connection and collaboration is felt through her work with Mindfulness Toronto Professional Community\, A Mindful Society\, Mindfulness Everyday\, Mindful Schools\, Rock Outreach Centre for Kids\, and Braveheart Wellness Retreats International.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom meeting: To join go to LINK \nMeeting ID: 859 5280 3857 \n

DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Jaisa Sulit\, registered OT(Ontario) \nThis will be an evening of storytelling by Jaisa Sulit where attendees will hear about how decolonization has: \n\nAffected her mindfulness and self-compassion practice\,\nExpanded her views on rest\,\nChanged the way that she teaches mindfulness and self-compassion\, and\nDeepened her relationship with the body\,  nature\, history and ancestors – broadening the way she answers the question: “Who am I?”\n\nJaisa Sulit (she/her/siya) is a neuro-rehab occupational therapist\, medical qigong practitioner and trained teacher of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion curriculums. She is also the author of “Purpose in Paralysis: From Chronic Pain to Universal Gain” which tells the story of how Jaisa learned to walk and stand in her truth after sustaining a spinal cord injury.

SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion 8-Week Course
DESCRIPTION:From the research of Dr. Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Dr. Chris Germer\, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a mindfulness-based training course in self-compassion. Research has shown that Self-Compassion training often leads to less stress\, anxiety\, and depression; more optimism\, happiness\, and gratitude; more effective regulation of negative emotions; increased ability to care-give without burning out; more resilience when faced with life challenges; increased motivation; more conscientiousness; closer and more functional relationships; higher levels of self-esteem without falling into the traps laid out by the quest for high self-regard; more likely to engage in helpful behaviours such as exercise and eating right; more grit and determination to reach goals. The 8-week course consists of 40+ practices\, exercises\, small and large group discussions that promote resilience. Learn to tame your inner critical voice and motivate yourself with kindness\, bring clarity to core values\, improve emotional well-being\, and increase life satisfaction. Note that MSC is not a substitute for individual psychotherapy. Natalie Sobel\, MSW\, RSW\, is a Trained Teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion from the Center for Self-Compassion and  is excited to be teaching this course and assisted by a dear colleague who has quite a bit of experience with the MSC program. Participants in this course will need to have masks ON due to Natalie’s auto-immune condition. Classes will take place on Wednesday evenings from 6 pm to 9 pm\, from February 8 to March 29; plus a retreat on Sunday\, March 12.  The venue is fully accessible with no stairs\, and there is a parking lot in front. Venue is on Chatham St. off of Dundurn Ave. Cost is $475 and there is an Early Bird Rate before January 22 of $425. A few Partial Scholarship spots are available. For more information or to register\, please email natalie.msc@bell.net.

SUMMARY:Everyday Mindfulness in Movement and Stillness with Steve Ferrell
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally\, Yoga and meditation walked hand-in-hand. The two are complimentary practices\, that when blended together can help us move through our lives with more presence\, more awareness and less reactivity. In this day-long retreat\, Steve Ferrell will be blending Yoga and movement practices with meditation practices\, as well as teaching how to pull these practices into a well-rounded approach to living mindfulness in everyday life. \nHumans are creatures of movement and action. Whereas meditation as commonly taught teaches us how to observe\, settle and interact with the mind\, primarily through stillness\, yoga teaches us how to use the wisdom from meditation and put it into action. And meditation teaching is evolving to an emphasis on how to integrate mindfulness practices into daily life. We can practice mindfulness while in stillness or in motion. The goal is to become more present and engaged with our inner world as we move through an outer world. \nThe day will consist of movement practices\, designed to draw more attention to the interaction between body\, mind and world\, mixed with meditation practices for beginner and more experienced meditators. Throughout the day\, Steve will also be giving small talks about how to integrate Mindfulness practices into everyday life\, showing us that practice does not have to stop when we leave the meditation cushion or the Yoga mat. Steve is a strong believer that the cushion and the mat are the training ground for us to cultivate more mindfulness into the rest of our lives\, thus creating a life of presence\, curiosity and engagement. \nThe yoga will be simple and accessible for people who have not taken yoga before but will be fully engaging for people who practice yoga regularly as the moment-to-moment awareness of body and mind is emphasized. Chair yoga will be demonstrated and can used as needed for anyone who has difficulty getting up and down from the floor. \nMeet the teacher in a recent interview at this LINK \nAbout the teacher: Steve Ferrell (E-RYT200\, YACEP) teaches Yoga/Movement\, Ayurveda\, Meditation\, and Mindfulness practices in the Hamilton area and nationally. Steve has been studying and practicing Yoga and meditation for over a decade. Over this time he has studied with many different techniques from different lineages of Yoga\, and Buddhism as well as studying Western-based cognitive-behavioural perspectives such as ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training) and FAP (Functional Analytic Psychotherapy). He believes that mindfulness practice is essential for survival in an over-stimulated\, “Attention Deficit Society”. He also strongly believes in the power of meditative practice to help stabilize attention\, calm habitual thought patterns\, and centre one’s self directly in the middle of their life. He helps his students find the simplicity and beauty within the work of sitting and mindfulness-based practices. Steve’s teaching blends movement\, breath and mind/ body awareness\, mindfulness practices\, some comedy\, and active student engagement to help people more easily connect to the present moment and move from that place of presence. He is a popular teacher of the meditation portion of yoga teacher training courses. \nHe has worked with and finds the most inspiration from teachers such as Michael Stone\, Matthew Remski\, Susi Hately\, Eihei Peter Levitt\, Dr. Steven C. Hayes\, Dr. Mavis Tsai\, Dr. Robert Kolenber and Shinzen Young. Other teachers who have influenced his approach include John Dunne\, Evan Thompson\, Roshi Enkyo O’Hara\, and Pascal Auclair \nSteve has also recently co-authored his first book. A clinical manual\, primarily geared to mental health professionals but also for Yoga Professionals: Mindful Yoga-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. \nSteve also holds the designation of YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) to provide continuing education for Yoga Alliance registered Yoga professionals. \nWho might be interested in coming? This workshop is designed to appeal to a broad range of people. \n\nIf your main mindfulness practice is meditation in stillness this day will help you build your capacity for mindfulness in movement.\n\n\nIf you mainly practice yoga\, this day will give you a deeper experience with formal and informal meditation practices\, also increasing your ability to be mindful\n\n\nIf you already practice yoga and meditation this day will help you deepen and further integrate those grooves of mind-body-world connection.\n\n\nIf you don’t practice meditation or yoga but are interested in both\, this will be a great introduction.\n\n\nAll are welcome no matter their level of experience with mindfulness\, meditation\, or yoga.\n\nWhat the day looks like: \nThe day will start with a brief ‘housekeeping’ segment. This will be followed by an introduction and the first of a series of short talks by Steve around the functions of practice as well as\, techniques and philosophies we will be working with\, followed by a brief Q&A. \nWe will then settle into an ‘All levels’ Yoga practice to help bring more attention into the body-mind as a set-up to being able more stable and open as we move into sitting practice. \nSitting practice will start with 10-15 minutes followed by a 10-15 minute walking meditation and followed with another sit. This pattern will be repeated throughout the day\, with the periods of practice gradually increasing through the day\, up to to 30 minute periods. \nOther than lunch and Q&A periods\, the rest of our time will be spent in contemplative silence. This sets the stage for the process of being able to me more inward without the distraction or desire of conversation. In this way we allow our practice to be felt and experienced without the need to explain it. \nWe will have 15-minute mid-morning and mid-afternoon water in/water out and snack breaks as well as a 1 hr. lunch (the lunch period will not be in silence). \nAfter lunch we will engage in another Yoga practice followed by periods of sitting and walking meditation. The day will finish with a final Yoga session\, followed by a discussion about strategies as to how we might continue to practice following this day long retreat including recommendations about various resources to assist in both movement and meditation practice and a final brief Q&A and a final bow. \nTo keep the costs down\, we are asking participants to bring a brown bag lunch. Snacks and drinks will be supplied at morning and afternoon breaks. Please bring a spill proof container for beverages and dress comfortably in layers. For yoga please bring a mat\, and for seated meditation whatever you normally use\, or if you don’t usually meditate\, a bolster and cushions to allow your pelvic to tip forward while seated. Chairs are also available\, but please feel free to bring a cushion for greater comfort. \nIf you are associated with another organization that promotes mindfulness please note that there is a community mindfulness resources table at the event and you are welcome to bring publicity materials. \nQuestions: info@mindfulnesshamilton.ca \nWebsite: mindfulnesshamilton.ca \nLocation: McMaster Innovation Park 195 Longwood Ave Hamilton \n
