Land Seminars
Welcome to our Land Based CE Seminars

Although Land Or Sea CEUs specializes in CE seminars on great cruise ships, we have been requested to present trainings in traditional locations around the country. 

We are pleased to announce the following upcoming trainings.  We will be posting more as we get them scheduled.  Want one near you please let us know.  Please keep checking back for more trainings and locations.

Mindful Ethics - 3 CEUs $45 until 10 days before training - 9 days or less $55
The teaching of mindfulness in conjunction with counseling offers both teacher and student the opportunity to experience the material in a profoundly deep and unobscured way.  This is because mindfulness practices transform both the content and the process by infusing into them an open, nonjudgmental, and engaged attitude.  Not surprisingly, mindfulness increasingly is being taught not just a stand alone course but as an integral part of course curricula at educational institutions across the country. This course will help you consider the primary areas of ethical and legal violations during recent years among counselors, therapists and social workers.  Ethical and Legal violations are often related to the deficiencies in the capacities of attunement, insight, and empathy. You will learn how to be more mindfully connected with your clients.

Mindfulness is now being used in a wide range of clinical programs and psychotherapeutic treatment modalities with both adults and children such as stress/anxiety management, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, anger, forgiveness, relapse prevention, and numerous others.   Mindfulness interventions fit into two basic categories: skills-oriented/cognitive behavioral or mindfulness-based interventions, which involve teaching mindfulness meditation and/or mindful movement practices.

-have participated in the 2 pre-requisite mindfulness based courses or the one 20 hour intensive course.
-are professionally trained and work in a context in which they plan to or are teaching or integrating mindfulness-based approaches to   patients/clients.

The program is primarily offered to those who are at an intermediate stage in developing the use of mindfulness-based approaches in their work context, but it is also appropriate for those who want support their ongoing development in this field.  This Certification training will introduce you to teaching the practices and curriculum of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. MBSR shares most of the core practices and intentions with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention.  The teaching skills you will learn are essential and common to both MBSR, MBCT and MBRP. The course will offer training in the specific course content and  practices of MBSR, MBCT and MBRP.  It is essential that you have a background in mental health of at least a Master’s in order to deliver MBCT.  Further training in MBCT is available, for those eligible – details available on the website soon.

What is involved?
Our time will be spent together as we practice and in reflective investigation as we learn through small and large group process. During the training we will engage in actual teaching of the main curriculum of the programs of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. We will reflect deeply in small groups on participants’ own direct experience of this and on the teaching and learning themes that arise.
By the end of the training participants will have:
•Developed a grounded understanding of mindfulness as an approach cultivated through ongoing personal awareness, in both formal and informal practices.
•Explored mindful approaches to pain, difficulty, depression, substance abuse and anxiety within ourselves and in others.
•Engaged in an awareness of the wide potential that mindfulness practice offers us all.
•Had the opportunity to understand the origins and context of mindfulness – and within this to have explored the importance of:
  Delivering mindfulness in a way that is universal, secular and is not connected to any specific tradition.   
  Teaching mindfulness out of one’s own practice. This engagement is not necessarily attached to any particular tradition but almost                    certainly involves a personal commitment to a sustained path of development and practice.

•Developed an understanding of the ways of learning and teaching within mindfulness, which includes:
Learning out of one’s own direct experience.
Investigation / exploration / inquiry / curiosity.
Trusting the unfolding of the process – avoiding the urge to fix, or retreat into an over reliance on didactic methods of teaching.
The teacher’s embodiment of mindfulness throughout the process.
•Developed a grounded knowledge and understanding of the practicalities of delivering mindfulness as an intervention, which includes:
Knowledge and experience of the curriculum and themes of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and some consideration of the                                  difference between MBSR, MBCT, MBRP.
Cautions to be aware of in encouraging the development of awareness and openness in others.
Some aspects to consider when assessing / orientating clients to the approach.
Ethical considerations for mindfulness teachers.
Ways of supporting ourselves in this work, and the place of supervision.
•Experienced the teaching process through:
Engagement as a participant and witnessing the process 
Participants will have the opportunity in an accepting and safe space to lead practices and investigate co-participant’s experiences of                                 these.  Detailed instructor and peer feedback will be offered to support this learning.
•Developed an understanding of group process and dynamics within the context of mindfulness teaching, drawn from the experience of being part of                   the training group.
•Experienced being part of a community of professionals with a sense of common purpose and journey.

The intention is to create a group process that feels safe and trustworthy, and an open, spacious learning environment, which will encourage spontaneity and creativity.

Participants should read the books provided in the prerequisite trainings prior to the training.

Students will learn a practical, experientially anchored, multi-faceted model for incorporating mindfulness in psychotherapy.  This advanced training and certification will include instruction in a range of mindfulness meditation practices in which each participant can develop or enhance a personal discipline of meditation practice, as the necessary foundation for the incorporation of mindfulness practice in clinical work.  Opportunities for each participant to develop and enhance skills in guiding and de-briefing meditation practices for patients, anchored in the therapist’s personal embodiment of the practice.
Attendees will be introduced to systematic, mindful inquiry and investigation in the meditation practice and in the therapeutic relationship.
Exploration, through mindful inquiry and dialogue, of the potential of mindfulness practices and perspectives to enhance treatment of a broad array of symptoms and diagnoses, across a range of theoretical orientations, treatment modalities and techniques.
Training is designed to meet the needs of therapists wishing to establish and cultivate a personal discipline of mindfulness meditation practice as the foundation for incorporating mindfulness meditation in psychotherapy. 

You will develop skills and inner capacities for incorporating mindfulness practices and perspectives from a variety of sources into clinical work which include MBSR and adaptations such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) and  other mindfulness and acceptance therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). 

The seminar will explore the deeper implications, both personally and professionally, of incorporating mindfulness meditation in clinical work through meditation, contemplation, mindful inquiry and dialogue, reflection and group discussion.
