I will provide you specific examples and metaphors, and you’ll also get support to create your own.

Participants will be able to:
- Learn, use, and teach 3 mindfulness techniques and approaches that are just plain different.
- Learn 3 different metaphors for effective mindfulness instruction and be able to create 1 of your own.
- Understand and be able to teach 3 principles that help clients to build a regular mindfulness practice.
