SUMMARY:Gil Fronsdal | The Practice of Accompaniment - Mindfulness and Chaplaincy
DESCRIPTION:Even as secular mindfulness teachers\, those we work with sometimes ask more of us than instruction alone. In these moments\, we are invited not only to offer practices\, but also our presence — to listen deeply and to walk along with them as they come into a more intimate relationship with themselves and their suffering. \n \nDrawing on the wisdom and practices of chaplaincy\, Gil Fronsdal will guide us in exploring the nuance between instruction and accompaniment and how to walk alongside others with care and humility\, discerning when to teach and when simply to be present.   \n \nThis session is from 12:30 – 2 pm ET; the Zoom link is here \nMore about Gil \nGil is the founding teacher\, and a co-guiding teacher at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City\, California and the Insight Retreat Center in Santa Cruz\, California.
