Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Retreat Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California
Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), developed by Jean Kristeller, addresses the mindless eating so prevalent in our culture, the type of eating that can lead to weight gain, obesity, disordered eating patterns, and stress-related eating. This weekend workshop is open to anyone. For professionals, this weekend will serve as an introduction to the MB-EAT program; CE credits are available for qualified professionals. In this highly participatory weekend, you can experience a new approach to eating, supported by NIH-funded research, that helps you cultivate your inner wisdom through a variety of mindful eating practices and guided meditations. You will be shown how to eat in a way that is more attuned to your body's needs, how to experience the full pleasure and taste of food without overeating, and how to release the guilt and struggle so often associated with eating. Outer wisdom—making personal use of current, scientifically-based nutrition and exercise guidelines—will also be explored. These tools can help you make informed, balanced, healthy choices in your life and be truly nourished by your food. Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness: A Professional Training,
Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California For professionals; CE credits available. Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), developed by Jean Kristeller, addresses mindless eating, stress-related eating, disordered eating patterns, and obesity through the application of mindfulness meditation. This workshop for health-care professionals provides intensive training in the application of MB-EAT in clinical settings. Informed by Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) work, and the basic principles of food intake regulation, the MB-EAT program employs mindfulness meditation, experiential eating exercises, didactic instruction, and self-reflection to cultivate mindful awareness and a more balanced and positive relationship to eating and weight. Throughout this training, we use demonstration, role play, simulated exercises, and discussion to cover the themes, material, and exercises in the MB-EAT program. We also deepen our own mindfulness practice through daily meditation practice, eating meditations, body awareness and movement meditations, and a half-day silent retreat. For those with a professional background treating eating issues and a substantive background in meditation practice, this program provides the necessary skills for delivery of the MB-EAT program. For those with less experience in these areas, it provides a substantial introduction to the issues and skills involved. CEUs available for psychologists.

Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training Program Mindful Eating, Conscious Living: 5-day Professional Training The intersection of mindfulness, eating and our relationship to food is the focus of this training for professionals. Inherent within that juncture are the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations that impact how we use and misuse food and our body. The training emphasizes experiential engagement in mindfulness meditation practices and mindful eating awareness exercises, with the intention that participants will ultimately teach these practices to clients and patients in a variety of settings. As a platform from which to work during this training, we will use the six-session curriculum designed by Bays and Wilkins called The Mindful Eating Program, which is a skill-building syllabus for use with individuals or groups. Each participant in this training will be given a copy of the Mindful Eating curriculum and a copy of Jan Chozen Bay’s book, Mindful Eating: A Guide to Re-discovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food. This 5-day intensive, experiential program will be led by experienced clinicians, mindfulness teachers and retreat leaders, Jan Chozen Bays, MD and Char Wilkins, LCSW, and is intended for professionals wishing to incorporate mindful eating and supportive mindfulness-related practices in their one-on-one clinical practice and/or into group work in which eating, food and body are aspects or the central focus. The program was designed for clinicians in mental health or healthcare fields and clinicians-in-training in these fields. CEs are available for most professions.
