 A description of CBRT: Compassion-based Resiliency Training

OVERVIEW:

Compassion-based Resiliency Training combines contemplative practice and science to offer self-healing, stress-reduction and a deeper understanding of how to live a more mindful and compassionate life. CBRT is a complete, evidence-based training method of building resilience and well-being of mind, heart, and body using mindfulness and compassion practices as well as healing imagery and breath-work.
Incorporating mindfulness and compassion practice into daily living will deepen your understanding of personal beliefs/conditioning that fuel unwanted patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. This insight supports a growth mindset and personal healing, while awakening an awareness of your interconnected nature to all other beings and Mother Earth.

Each 2.5 hour session will cover two of the eight modules of learning.
Sessions include two guided meditations, group discussion, an explanation of the mindfulness concepts and techniques, journaling, embodiment practices and Q&A. Individual learning is supplemented by a manual, homework, recorded guided meditations, breath work videos, scientific articles, and additional resources.

CURRICULUM:

The curriculum integrates timeless contemplative skills with contemporary breakthroughs in neuroscience, positive psychology, and integrative medicine.
