course serves as an introduction to Mindfulness for the busy practitioner. The content relates core mindfulness topics and tools to common things that veterinarians and veterinary staff face in everyday practice (e.g. challenging clients, staff interactions, workload, burnout, emotional aspects of the job, self-judgement). The sessions will include brief practices such as a body scan, mindfulness of breathing, kindness meditation, awareness of sensations and emotions. Topics to be covered will include: Mindfulness of the Body: The body as home base, a link to the present moment (vs thought/worry) The Storytelling Mind: The mind on autopilot- how to step off the wheel Mindfulness of Emotions: Becoming aware as emotions arise, not identifying with them and working to RESPOND instead of REACT Cultivating Kindness to Self and Others: Working with the judging mind: we go into this profession caring deeply about our patients but often lack the ability to extend that same level of kindness to ourselves Willingness to Be with Things as They Are: Saying ‘YES’ to what is here and now, instead of getting caught up wishing things were different- becoming more available to the present moment By the end of the course, group members will have a solid foundation in general mindfulness practices, as well as the tools and context to help relate them to the everyday challenges we face in veterinary medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcf189fe554aa354116bc06/1617585979780-D0N3TDQCX9OB7TQ3B3WY/sunset+off+webpage.jpg Home - Mindfulness for Veterinary Well-being An hour long session which includes a basic overview of mindfulness as it relates to the veterinary field.

Throughout school, as veterinarians and others in the field, we’re taught a lot about the body and it’s functions but very little about our minds and how to be in healthy relationship with our thoughts. Once out in the field, we often find ourselves juggling multiple priorities and stressors on a day to day basis. This can lead to things like compassion fatigue, burnout, and what can feel like insurmountable stress. We can start to question ourselves, our choice to join the profession, and even our ability to continue moving forward. Our courses relate core mindfulness topics and tools to the common things we face in everyday practice, providing caregivers in the field the tools we need to navigate our days with more skill and less reactivity. I’m a veterinarian and also a mindfulness practitioner. I’ve been working in the veterinary field since 2003, practicing mindfulness since 2013, and offering mindfulness to others since 2018. I’ve been in dark places as well, and thankfully found mindfulness at a time I needed it most. Mindfulness has opened up the capacity for me to meet my experiences day to day with more space, kindness, and less judgement. It’s made a HUGE difference in my life, so much so that I realized I wanted to find a way to help others on their own journeys. I received my certification in Mindful Educator Essentials from Mindful Schools in 2018, and completed a 2 year intensive training program in 2021 from the Greater Good Center at UCBerkeley to become certified as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, studying under Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield among others. https://www.mindfulvetmed.com/courses daily 0.75 2023-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcf189fe554aa354116bc06/1607451654386-M2UY4NIWXK5O02GGMKEV/Luka+short.jpg Courses - Mindfulness in Veterinary Medicine: an Introductory 6 week course Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

There are no course fees due at time of registration for any of our courses. It is our intent that the teachings of mindfulness remain available to all who may benefit, regardless of their ability to pay. Our courses are 100% funded by the students that have come before them. The practice of Mindfulness includes compassion and generosity towards others. While completing our courses, students and clinics are invited to contribute what they can towards keeping our courses going. They give to the extent that they are able and if they feel they have benefited, by 'paying-it-forward' for the students who come after them. In this way participants are able to actively contribute to the benefit of others by practicing open generosity. Our students give knowing that they are making a difference for those that come after them. A note on RACE approved courses: select Mindful Vet Med courses have recently become RACE APPROVED. In order to cover accreditation and reporting costs, there is a minimal fee to receive CE credit for our courses. https://www.mindfulvetmed.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-02-12 https://www.mindfulvetmed.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2020-12-11 https://www.mindfulvetmed.com/westernu daily 0.75 2021-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcf189fe554aa354116bc06/1607451654386-M2UY4NIWXK5O02GGMKEV/Luka+short.jpg WesternU - Vet Med Meditation Hour Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
