1:00pm-5:00 PM Merrill (Main) Lodge at Camp Lackawanna 1219 Vosburg Neck Rd. Tunkhannock, PA 18657 |
Course Description
In this self-care course for massage therapists, you'll learn how instinctive meditation can help you stay rested and rejuvenated on a daily basis. This course developed from conversations with a number of massage therapists I know professionally, as friends, or as private clients. I'd love to give you a tool to help prevent burnout, to help you be more present in your own life, and with your clients.
When you learn a sport, a musical instrument, or how to give massages, you learn smaller skills before playing a game, performing in a recital, or giving a full body massage. Why not do the same thing with your meditation practice? Reduce frustration by using tricks gleaned from Dr. Lorin Roche's decades of research with regular, healthy meditators from a variety of traditions. Lorin is my mentor for meditation and I continue to train under him.
We'll talk about what meditation is and obstacles that might be preventing you from being a healthy meditator. You'll learn and practice some 1 minute skills that successful meditators use but that aren't being taught. We will alternate learning some skills with some guided meditations and some explorations on your own. There will also be time for optional massage exchanges.
My goal is to give you the tools to begin meditating on your own after the retreat. Meditation is a natural process that we all know how to do and crave. Learn how to trigger the relaxation response during existing moments in your day.

Testimonials :
“I truly enjoyed spending the day with Bernadette learning her unique practice of meditation! I have been able to set aside a few moments each day to simply be in my body, enjoy each sensation, and gain new insights! Through her relaxed, light-hearted approach, I have shifted my perception of what it is to meditate and have experienced greater joy in life’s simple moments and been able to handle the difficult ones with a little more ease!”

"I feel Bernie helped me understand how to allow myself to think, feel, and connect with an openness that is new to me. I was accepting of myself, free of judgment, and free of restriction. the clarity I felt and energy I had helped me feel more grounded and committed to myself. It was a real treat being able to take part in meditation this way. Thank you Bernie!"
