This Post Qualification CPD Diploma in Core Process Psychotherapy course is intended to give Qualified Practitioners grounding in the theory and practice of mindfulness within psychotherapeutic practice.  The course introduces participants to key therapeutic contemplative practices and relational skills, grounded in the practice of Core Process Psychotherapy, one of the original mindfulness-based therapeutic forms.  Its curriculum draws on over thirty years of experience in offering psychotherapy trainings based on depth mindfulness practice.  It invites us to practice deep listening to self, other and to the relational field through adapting ancient Buddhist meditation practices for working jointly in relationship.

This is a foundation week for Contemplative Group Work, intended as Continuing Professional Development for Accredited Practitioners. It is open to psychotherapists, psychologists, experienced meditators, spiritual teachers and those already working in groups.

The intention of the training is to establish the Contemplative Holding Field through the power of shared attention and awareness.  This contributes to building safety and trust, helping to constellate a robust and benign field of cooperative enquiry. In this environment, receptivity deepens to include the individual and the group and deepening realms of subliminal and subtle collective wisdom.

This retreat is experiential and held within awareness-based practice, including periods of silence, meditation, and walking practice. Contemplative Group Practice will be established as part of every day.  It is open to psychotherapists, psychologists, experienced meditators, spiritual teachers and those already working in groups.

This approach has its roots in Relational Mindfulness and Buddhist Practice. The underpinning experiential premises include that human beings are connected and non-separate at deepening levels of knowing.   That we are all inherently well at our core, our centre, our heartmind.  This intrinsic well-being manifests in qualities of Spaciousness, Clarity and Compassion and has been called Brilliant Sanity. That the embodiment of these qualities of knowing manifests as awareness of how things are in the present moment and a movement to acceptance and wholeness.
