Learn mindfulness skills for your personal and professional development
Join us in beautiful Brentwood Bay, BC for this Foundations workshop which explores the theory and practice of mindfulness and meditation for physicians and for their partners/spouses.

Partners and spouses are welcome to attend all of the sessions in order to share the understanding of these challenges and to share in the development of mindfulness tools.

1)To understand the definition of mindfulness and how its formal and informal practice can reduce suffering in ourselves, in our relationships, and in our patients.
