Workshop for psychologists and mindfulness teachers by Trish Bartley from Oxford Mindfulness Foundation
Up to now the impact of the group has been largely ignored in mindfulness research, much teacher training, and in the practice of many mindfulness teachers. Yet research seems to show that the participants in mindfulness-based programs (MBP), as well as group psychotherapy, find that the group is a key factor in how much they enjoyed the program and their learning from it. There seems to be considerable added value in cultivating and holding a group process that is safe and inclusive, so that the group itself enables learning and experience of common humanity that amplifies a sense of wider interrelatedness long after the program is over. For many, this results in enhanced personal wellbeing and agency, which may also prove to be helpful in supporting a wider collective wellbeing. The workshop will be framed around The Inside Out Group Model (Griffith, Bartley, and Crane, 2019) – which offers a simple yet profound structure for learning about teaching groups, whether its in MBP or in group psychotherapy.
About the speaker
Trish Bartley has been involved in mindfulness-based teaching since the beginnings of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). She started teaching mindfulness in hospital to people with cancer in 2001, supported by Mark Williams and John Teasdale (two MBCT founders). She adapted the program and published it in 2012 and has since taught MBCT-Ca in groups to several hundred people with cancer. She currently works online with people with advanced cancer and trains mindfulness teachers in the UK, Europe and sometimes further afield in Africa and Asia. She regularly teaches workshops at Oxford Mindfulness Foundation about group-work and enquiry.
Trish has a background in development and participatory process work. She has written four books including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Cancer (Bartley, 2012) a handbook for mindfulness teachers; Mindfulness: A Kindly Approach to Being with Cancer (Bartley, 2017) a book for people with cancer themselves; and a new book Teaching Mindfulness-Based Groups (Bartley & Griffith, 2022).
