Giving Care, Taking Care – IMP Reunion

Instructor(s): Paul R. Fulton

Program Description:

This program, offered to graduates of IMP's Certificate Program in Mindfulness & Psychotherapy, will be an opportunity to take stock of our past efforts, and take aim for the future. Through practice, discussion, and some presentation, we will deepen the conversation by considering what meditation and psychotherapy are each good for (and what they are not), the nature of awakening, refining ethical conduct, and the nature of the aggregates.
