Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Nov.5-7
Weekend Workshop with Dr. Eddie Berinstein, November 5-7, 2010, at Cascadia Centre, Roberts Creek.
Dr. Eddie Berinstein has been practicing Mindfulness and Insight Meditation since 1977 under the guidance of his teacher Anagarika Dhammadinna until her death in 1991. He has attended many Meditation Retreats and has led a Sunday evening meditation group with the Community Schools for many years.
More recently he has attended “Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction – Professional Training” workshops with Jon Kabat-Zinn. Eddie is now teaching MBSR Workshops on the Sunshine Coast and is presently an Instructor with the Center for Mindfulness. He has found that the cultivation of Mindfulness has enhanced all aspects of his physical, emotional and spiritual life, as well as his professional life as a Family Physician.
MBSR was started by Jon Kabat-Zinn in the late 1970’s and has since benefited thousands of people worldwide.
The cultivation of Mindfulness through Meditation Practice allows us to be more present for our moments as they unfold and to embrace the “full catastrophe” of our life in a more harmonious and balanced way. The primary purpose of the workshop is the cultivation of mindfulness into everyday life, thereby using it as a means and a tool to help deal with chronic pain, stress, and illness.
The workshop will consist of both formal and informal mindfulness practices including sitting, walking, loving kindness, and bodyscan meditation. There will be group dialogue and interaction as well as some guided body movement.

Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy Weekend (June 11-13)
Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy Weekend
June 11th to 13th, 2010 with Nancy Mortifee
Together we will explore issues that many women share. We’ll work with new ways to uncover and express feelings, untangle ourselves from others and find our own feet again. We will share the challenges and joys of re-inventing ourselves, discovering new creative outlets and having nourishing fun with other women.
This residential retreat is open to adult women of all ages with varying interests and life experiences. The common thread will be our desire to know and express ourselves more fully and to receive from one another the way women through the ages have always done. We will:
- Share our stories in a confidential circle
- Dance and move our bodies
- Explore a variety of creative mediums
- Enjoy healthy delicious meals prepared by someone else
- Dress up and dress down
- Try something new or try something old in a new way
- Explore and express our maiden, mother and wise woman selves
“As women, we are constantly transitioning from one stage to the next. As a woman in mid-life, I have an urge to share this experience with others who are hungry to discover new parts of themselves and shift patterns that no longer serve them. Some women are looking to take this deeper journey into self, while others need simply to enjoy some restorative time for themselves. My commitment is to hold the space for both to occur.” Nancy Mortifee
