MECL1: Mindful Eating, Conscious Living: A Foundational Professional Training

  • Friday, April 24, 2015
  • Wednesday, April 29, 2015
  • Four Seasons Retreat, Waldviertel, Austria
Facilitators: Jan Chozen Bays, MD and Char Wilkins, MSW, LCSW


The intersection of mindfulness, eating and our relationship to food is the focus of this Mindful Eating/Conscious Living professional training. Inherent within that juncture are the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations that impact how we relate to food and our body in skillful and unskillful ways.
The training emphasizes experiential engagement in mindfulness meditation practices and mindful eating awareness exercises, so that the participants will be able to pass the benefit of these exercises on to clients and patients in a variety of settings. These practices and exercises are integral components of the eight- session Mindful Eating Syllabus designed by Bays and Wilkins, which provides the organizing structure for creating a program appropriate to the individuals and groups you serve. This training centers on building skills as you explore, experience and learn to teach core aspects of mindful eating
