    Mindfulness and Cancer

    Specialist Zoom Online Teacher Training

Mindfulness and Cancer

Mindfulness and Cancer is being offered to people with cancer in clinical settings, charity support groups, and many other contexts in the UK and abroad. The Mindfulness and Cancer programme was developed over many years in a Welsh oncology centre by Trish Bartley and supported by John Teasdale. MBCT for Cancer (a teacher’s handbook) was published in 2012 (Bartley, 2012).

Online Teacher Training in Mindfulness and Cancer

We are very pleased to offer this specialist training that explores the values, practice and approach of Mindfulness and Cancer. The training will enable mindfulness-based teachers to develop the skills, inspiration and understanding to work safely in the field of mindfulness and cancer – and to connect with others working in psycho-oncology, cancer support and palliative care, who are interested in what mindfulness might offer.

Programme

Over the four days we will explore the intention, approach and new/different aspects of the eight-week Mindfulness for Cancer programme, paying particular attention to:

• ways of adapting the core practices as they are guided for cancer participants
• the brief practices and new exercises and processes that have been created within Mindfulness for Cancer
• ways that we can emphasise and work with kindness and self compassion within the intervention
• understanding the cognitive model that underpins Mindfulness for Cancer – and the place of the four practice movements of Intention; Coming Back; Turning Towards; and Kindness
• exploring the teaching implications of working with this population and how we can support ourselves as teachers.

The training will use a variety of (mainly experiential) processes including:

• practice
• dialogue and inquiry in both peer groups and the large group
• discussion and reflection in small and large groups
• presentation

We will work together on zoom platform, so it is important for you to have good enough internet and laptop / computer to use to enable you to access the online training.
One of the advantages of this online training is being able to offer a foundation that will help when teaching people with cancer online.

Participants must commit to the entire training. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, we are unable to negotiate late arrivals or early leaving.
