We realise as practitioners the importance and sacredness of grief, without fearing it or judging our healing pathway; and while grief is personal and happens in its own time and in its own way, every journey is different. Sometimes we simply don\u2019t have the space to grieve, and we can find ourselves suffering years later but not recognise it as unresolved grief.<\/p><p>There are many situations that cause us serious pain and sorrow: life changing losses; the death of a loved one; a relationship ends; a pet dies, a job ends; divorce. Then there is everyday grief: a friend lets us down; our children struggle; we feel the loss of our roots and community. Our culture seems to encourage the \u2018stiff upper lip\u2019 and \u2018moving on\u2019. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way. There is no timeline for, or solution to \u2018getting over\u2019 or \u2018moving on\u2019 from grief. But we can learn to grow around our painful wounds and begin to come to a place of peace and remember with more love than pain. Grief isn&#8217;t something you simply &#8220;fix&#8221;; instead, it&#8217;s a process that you learn to navigate with time, patience, and self-compassion. Develop the skills and mindset needed to effectively cope with the inevitable ups and downs of grief, allowing you to find healing, growth and, ultimately, a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in your life.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Enquiry questions:<\/p><p>1. How do we work with our attachment and aversion to power to deepen our collective and nuanced understanding of grief as a tool of liberation?<\/p><p>2. How can we call forth embodied spiritual teachings within our lineages to help guide us in wielding personal and collective power with precision in the face of loss and in service of global change?<\/p><p>3. How do we best integrate after love and loss while simultaneously attuning to the need for protection of ourselves\u2013and ultimately all others\u2013on this path?<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Join us for this beautiful opening ceremony and shared exploration and please bring some flowers or an object to build a communal shrine,<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09b18dc elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"09b18dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21f36fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"21f36fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3561\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3561\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3561\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3561\"><p>Contemporary mainstream mindfulness has been critiqued for its focus on individual outcomes to the neglect of wider systemic forces that shape our experience and sense of ourselves, including belief systems underpinning discrimination, and prejudice, and the recognition that our wellbeing is completely contingent on collective wellbeing. An over emphasis on common humanity and universality can lead us to avoid engaging with difference in all its richness and challenge. We can\u2019t address causes of suffering or feel a sense of belonging without curiosity, validation, and recognition of each of our individual uniqueness.<\/p><p>This workshop will invite each of us to consider \u2018this being human\u2019 alongside being this human being. We will shine a light on how it is to be a human being in this particular moment in history. We will explore how these dual considerations might inform next steps for us as individuals and collectives to support us to integrate a social lens in our mindfulness practice, teaching, and research. What might be needed for our mindfulness practice, teaching and research to become more inclusive, contextualised, and relatable so that it both benefits individuals and wider society?<\/p><p>We will explore the relevance and power of MBSR when it is rooted in lived experience and tinged with the humility, vulnerability, and fortitude required to take a closer look at what it is to be an evolving socially aware human and lifelong learner.<br \/>The day will be held in a community of practice framework designed to facilitate each of us in bringing a kind, courageous beginners\u2019 mind to exploring together how MBSR has emerged, where it has been, and where it can go amidst our collective global concerns.<\/p><p>To this end, this workshop will be about encouraging a collective exploration of the perceived moral and ethical boundaries of the individual, secular, social and spiritual practice of mindfulness, through an explicitly inclusive social lens that is rooted in justice, equity, diversity and inclusion or what we like to call JEDI work.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c9aaf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"3c9aaf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-6351\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-6351\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more...<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-6351\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-6351\"><p>The workshop will feature a blend of guided mindfulness exercises, group discussions, presentations and practical activities.

We are delighted that Esther will be able to join to share her perspectives as a parent, mindfulness practitioner and Director of new CIC, Peace and Mind UK, and that <strong>Emily Slater (CEO of MiSP)<\/strong> will join her for this.<\/p><p>Known for its age specific curricula, this workshop will be sure to also include a taster of MiSP&#8217;s newest curriculum, tailored at our youngest learners, 3-6 year olds, as well as from The Present&#8217;s curriculum for schools, with an opportunity to hear directly from The Present Director and curriculum author, <strong>Sarah Silverton<\/strong>, as part of sharing a new official collaboration between the two organisations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>This is a workshop open to all, and will be an opportunity also for educators and anyone caring for children and young people in a professional or personal capacity or passionate for other reasons to join together and network.\u00a0If you\u00a0care\u00a0deeply about\u00a0future generations and\u00a0ensuring as many people as possible access mindfulness in their lives?
