Mindfulness is a category of mind training that explores the three different modes of attention and trains them to enhance new forms of concentration, self-awareness, and situational awareness to enhance all cognitive, emotion regulation, tactical, and interpersonal skills. This training is an examination into the science and experience of mindfulness as it relates to resilience, warrior-humanitarian ethos, and human performance optimization. These skills provide the foundation to thrive through adversity and trauma and the wisdom to understand strategies for recovery, pliability and striving toward sustained post-traumatic growth.
Experiential Learning
This is an intensive introduction to the science of the mind and cognitive conditioning through mindfulness meditation and mindful movement. Opportunities for experiential practice through guided and individual meditations and mindful movement are supported with lectures/discussions throughout each training day.
This event is open to wildland firefighters and those professionals who support wildland fire suppression. This includes fire service, emergency management, public safety telecommunications, law enforcement and public health professionals.
