Mindfulness and Conscious Living
This workshop will allow participants to explore Mindfulness practice as an invitation to explore new possibilities, broaden perspectives and stay connected, that is, to be present in daily life. The workshop will include guided practices as well as didactic explorations of the science involved.
William A. Cook graduated from Queen’s University Medical School, Kingston, Ontario, and completed his training in plastic surgery at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada. Dr. Cook’s interest in bioethics resulted in the development of a bioethics service at River Valley Health in New Brunswick where he practices and in the completion of a Ph.D. in bioethics from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. Dr. Cook practiced Plastic Surgery in Fredericton for 25 years and from 2005 to 2009 was VP Medicine at River Valley Health. He continues to be active in the now Regional bioethics service and in his current MindBody Medicine practice with a central focus on mindfulness and conscious living. Dr. Cook is a recipient of the Rotary International Paul Harris Award for humanitarian service.

Cultivating Courage Through the Daring Way™
Every day we experience the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable. Based on the pioneering research of Brené Brown, we work to dispel the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and embrace it as our most accurate measure of courage. Vulnerability is indeed at the core of difficult emotions, but it’s also the birthplace of creativity and innovation, authenticity, adaptability to change and accountability. We will “dig deeply” into the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that hold us back and spend time identifying the new choices and practices that will help you move forward.
