Course Description:
The most utilized and researched program for teaching mindfulness is Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and adaptations of this 8-week model. MBSR is clinically beneficial to have profound benefits on emotional and physical well-being as well as a wide range of chronic conditions. MBSR and adapted programs is now used as the basis for many interventions, including treatment for depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, ADHD and pain.
Mindfulness and yoga are best taught by those who practice them.

In addition, highlights of the current research on the benefits of mindfulness and yoga will be presented. All levels are welcome to learn and expand the formal and informal practices of mindfulness in stillness, movement and communication. We will explore the foundations of mindfulness through personal practice, and ways to introduce, teach and employ mindfulness in group or individual practice.
You will also learn how cultivating a personal mindfulness practice can enhance the therapeutic alliance, a key factor in all clinical encounters.
Integrating mindful practice, dialogue and research, this retreat will offer a spacious and balanced schedule of teaching, meditation, gentle clinical/office-based yoga (for chair or floor practices), mindful eating and walking and noble silence. Learn how to introduce mindfulness in groups and individual sessions, working with at risk, physically, mentally and emotionally challenged populations, the general population as well as in clinics, hospitals and other institutional settings.
Whether you are a curious beginner or an advanced practitioner wondering how to integrate these practices with your clients – this workshop is for you! In a peaceful, restorative setting, experience group practice, dialogue and plenty of free time for contemplation and rest.

LUCIA MCBEE, LCSW, MPH, CYI
Lucia McBee, LCSW, MPH, CYI, began her Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction journey in 1992. Always interested in meditation and yoga, her mindfulness practice was inspired by a client with chronic pain. Looking for alternative treatments, she discovered MBSR, which requires a serious practice commitment from the teacher. She participated in professional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in 1994 and the first MBSR Teacher Development Intensive at the Center for Mindfulness in 1997. She also completed training in Mind/Body/Spirit Medicine at the Center for Mind/Body Medicine in 2000. In 2008, Lucia became a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. Since 1998, she has taught MBSR to a wide variety of populations including mental health professionals, frail elders and caregivers, college students, persons with HIV, those recently released from incarceration, and courses for the general population.
In addition to teaching MBSR, Lucia is a licensed clinical social worker in both New York and Maine. Following her graduation from Columbia University’s School of Social Work and Public Health, she developed a pioneering practice using mindfulness and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to improve the quality of life in community, hospital and nursing home settings. Her book, Mindfulness-Based Elder Care, is based on her innovations in adapting mindfulness and complementary and alternative medicine for elders and their caregivers. She has published numerous articles in peer reviewed journals and chapters in many books describing her adaptations of mindfulness. Her presentations have included national and international conferences. She regularly presents to and consults with institutional and community direct-care providers.
She is currently a freelance author, consultant and faculty at Columbia University School of Social Work.
