Being a mindfulness group leader is complicated. We do the practice, we lead the practice, we discuss the topic and review the homework, we keep track of group process, we assign homework and always with the intention of bringing our full selves to the experience.
This week we will take time to appreciate the mindful attention and professional skills that we bring to our work, with an emphasis on mindful inquiry.
And, of course, we will have a mindfulness practice.
