Bangkok Deep Dive Workshop
Workshop Description
This mini-retreat will give us counselors the time to slow down, reflect on our own self-care needs and engage in research-backed mindfulness and meditation practices which can be used to support wellbeing. Aligned with ASCA’s ethical standards and practices encouraging self-care in the counseling profession, this workshop will lead participants through multiple types of traditional meditation to cultivate presence and self-compassion. Additionally (and perhaps most importantly) we will also practice short mindful self-regulation strategies which can be easily integrated into the busyness of daily life. There will be time for personal self-reflection and deepening our understanding through group interaction. The intention for this time is to have space to pause, integrate, refresh and connect.
