Do you work with clients individually or in groups and would like to deepen your knowledge on how to safely integrate mindfulness into your work?
Lay the foundation of mindfulness in your work with people and discover how you can guide clients with greater sensitivity and presence.
Mindfulness is not just a technique you teach clients. It is a natural ability that we all possess and can consciously develop. It represents both a quality of awareness and a way of being—the ability to pay attention to our experiences in the present moment with openness, curiosity, and willingness to be with them. Mindfulness can lead to improved focus, deeper self-connection, greater emotional regulation, better stress management, and a shift in self-perception.
At the same time, it is a powerful tool that can have a profound impact on both clients and professionals. To use it safely and effectively, it is essential to understand its possibilities as well as potential risks.
This course will help you understand the foundations of mindfulness and integrate them into your professional practice in a sensitive and secure manner, bringing a new dimension to both you and your clients.
Who is this program for?
This course is designed for professionals working with clients individually or in groups who want to enrich their practice with new approaches: psychologists, coaches, trainers, and other helping professionals. Preference will be given to participants who already have experience with mindfulness practice.
Instructors
The program is led by experienced teachers from the Mindfulness Institute Slovakia: Andrej Jeleník and Eva Zavacká.
Both have years of experience teaching mindfulness, MBSR, and MBCL courses. Andrej is a psychotherapist, while Eva is a coach and trainer. Their unique combination of expertise brings dynamism and practical insights for various applications of mindfulness.
