University course: Mindfulness in Medical, Psychosocial and Educational Professions

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness means to meet the present experience consciously and openly. It affects all areas of life and allows us to experience and shape all aspects of our being more consciously. Mindfulness enables us to see clearly and to act in an appropriate way instead of reacting habitually.
The attitude and practice of mindfulness is found in many wisdom traditions. In recent decades, mindfulness has increasingly found its way into medicine and psychotherapy – predominantly through secular interpretations of Buddhist meditation methods. Studies show positive effects in dealing with stress and psychosomatic illnesses as well as improved resilience and empathy.

The course is offered in German.
