The insight and wisdom cultivated on retreat and in our daily practice can often be difficult to access in the midst of our daily lives when it is most required. We may have left a retreat feeling very equanimous and at peace only to see that quickly dissipate when family, friends or co-workers trigger old reactive patterns. This workshop will explore teachings from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy that have been shown to increase our ability to respond consciously to the many challenges life presents. Through a combination of didactic teaching, group discussion and silent meditation, we will look at skilful means we can employ to address the disconnect between our formal practice and practice in the midst of our daily lives.
This workshop is recommended for people with some foundation of meditation practice.
About Bill Knight
Bill Knight After graduating from medical school in 1977, Bill spent 10 years practicing emergency and family medicine in Canada, the Middle and Far East. In the late 80’s he retrained as a psychotherapist. A desire to more fully understand his own mind and body led him to the practice of Insight Meditation which changed his life. Since 1995 his medical practice has been limited to teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. He has practiced with a variety of teachers in both the Theravada and Mahayana traditions in both North America and Asia. He lives with his wife and three cats in Muskoka.
