Continuing Education Credits are available for Nurses and Social Workers for this program. See below for details.
In this retreat, we will take a deep look at how to integrate contemplative practice with care giving, whether at home or in the work place. Combining Buddhist teachings with periods of sitting and walking meditation, didactics, small group work, question and answer periods, this retreat will provide an opportunity to explore the depths of our inner wisdom and compassion. Most importantly, this will be a time to look at how we can take care of ourselves whilst taking care of others.
The retreat will be especially beneficial to nurses, psychotherapists, social workers, chaplains, doctors and lay caregivers.
Garrison rests right on the banks of the Hudson River with elegant accommodations, a stunning meditation hall with versatile breakout rooms and excellent vegetarian food. Garrison is conveniently located two hours north of New York City and is easily reachable via major highways or by train.
