Invited keynote, Annual Conference, Berlin
Developing skills in a complex craft such as teaching mindfulness-based programs is a lifelong endeavour. If we are able to create the conditions in our daily lives for this, it becomes an inspiring and meaningful ongoing engagement. How do we keep our learning and inspiration alive? How do we stay close to our core intentions and motivations for becoming a mindfulness-based teacher? What inner and outer conditions in our lives are needed to enable us to sustain the process? What are the core skills, knowledge and qualities we are investing in developing? How does this personal maturation influence the wider maturation of this young field? In this talk I will share current field and personal perspectives on these important themes.
