Often thought inappropriate for those who are frail or cognitively impaired, mindfulness interventions are proving especially effective. And that's good news for the multiple challenges of an aging population and their caregivers. This workshop will focus on the mindfulness model of being with pain and loss, yet alive to the joys of the moment. Discover and experience a variety of hands-on, practical skills that have been successfully adapted for approaching end-of-life conditions, cognitive/physical disabilities, and communication problems.
