Mark’s Mindfulness in Medicine workshop in Tofino was literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air. His kind and gentle approach to sharing his knowledge was perfectly balanced with ample time to be in nature and process what we had learned. I attended a Spring workshop with my sister and another dear friend, and the learning and growth we experienced in class was further consolidated and built upon through our long conversations on hikes and in the hot tub, during the afternoons and evenings off in beautiful Tofino. This workshop offered a perfect mix of group sessions, individual reflection, practice, and time away. It was no surprise that a number of attendees were repeat learners, given how important what he shares is. I am so thankful for this opportunity to reflect on my practice, my lens, my gratitude, and to walk away with more compassion for others, and importantly, for myself. This workshop leaves you feeling peaceful and reflective. I cannot recommend it enough.
