MMHP: Meditating Helping Professions

“…The greatest value of meditation practice for the psychotherapist is in the way it helps us to cultivate certain qualities of mind—in fact, it helps us cultivate precisely those qualities which are most conducive to the successful treatment relationship.”
-Paul Fulton, Ed.D.

Are you interested in a group for Meditating Mental Health Professionals (or for Helping Professions in general)? We are planning groups to begin after the beginning of 2008. They will meet for two hours on a week day, probably once a month on Friday. Contact Mary with questions about fees and program details or with comments about your specific interests. Minimum number of participants is five people ready to make a six month committment.
